This Hackney hideaway is full of surprises. Whether you're soaking in the copper bathtub, relaxing in the infrared sauna, or enjoying a drink on the wrap-around terrace, we reckon you'll feel right at home here. Each room is colourful, bright, and ultra-comfortable – though two guests will sleep on a small sofa bed. Central London is within easy reach, thanks to the nearby Overground station, but Hackney itself is full of trendy eateries, cool bars, and independent shops. Many are just a short walk away – make sure to ask your delightful host, Jane, about all her favourite spots.

Home truths:
*While the second bathroom isn't photographed, and some rooms aren't shown in full, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*Pets may be allowed on request – please speak to your host for more information.
*A cleaner will stop by to clean the kitchen and bathrooms once a week.
*You'll have to climb stairs here.
*Since the photographs were taken, some of the furniture in the living area has changed. For example, the dining table now has two chairs instead of a bench.
