Just a five-minute walk from Angel station, House of Jute masterfully uses its space to create a harmonious, tasteful home that smoothly matches organic fabrics with subtle, neutral cabinets and wall colours. Set on the ground floor of a restored Georgian building (Grade II listed, no less), it's a stylish, modern home with period touches like shuttered windows.

With the bedroom and en-suite at the back of the apartment, away from the road, it's a peaceful space to return to at the end of a busy day. And while the en-suite may be a bit of a squeeze for some, there is another private bathroom up half a flight of stairs – a helpful addition.

Home truths:
* The en-suite bathroom is pretty small but there is another private bathroom up half a flight of stairs – it's accessed by the communal hallway and has storage space and a combined washing/drying machine
* A cot and high chair are available for little ones
*Your host asks that outdoor shoes are removed upon entry
*There's laptop-friendly workspace
*The home has a separate entrance
