Perched equidistance between two Underground stations in happening Walthamstow, the location of this central London bolthole is spot on. While this apartment may be studio living, the king-sized bed and all-to-rare outside space to call your own are welcome surprises. The lack of dining space may not suit everyone – or it's the perfect excuse to try out the countless vibey cafes and restaurants in this neighbourhood. And no visit here is complete without a wander through Walthamstow Market (allegedly the longest market in Europe) to meet the cockney locals.

Home truths:
*You'll share an entrance to the apartment building
*This home is located on the second floor without lift access, so be prepared to climb some stairs
*There's a small desk space for remote working
*Bathroom essentials are provided to help settle you in
*Your host politely asks you to respect the neighbours and keep the noise down, especially after 10 pm
*Please use indoor shoes/slippers, if possible
*The balcony's mesh screen to steer off birds isn't the most attractive, so it might not suit all guests
