Stepping into this wonderfully bright apartment, you can immediately tell that the owner, an interior designer, has poured her love and knowledge of style into its careful curation.

Retro chic meets modern elegance here, with the host's hand-selected art and furnishings making bold statements at every turn. From the rare Viola and Calcutta marble in the kitchen to the dining nook's built-in banquette seat and parquet floors throughout, you’ll feel perfectly at ease here as you flick through one of the shelves’ many books while relaxing on the sofa or while enjoying a meal at the window-side table and taking in views of leafy London Fields. Perch by the Juliet balcony here with a glass of wine in the evening – you’ll love the soft glow of light that makes the whole room dazzle.

With a stylish bedroom to wake up in too and a rainfall shower to get mornings started on the right foot, you’ve got everything you need for a comfortable, carefree stay.

When it comes to exploring nearby, walk just across the street for a picnic or a stroll through London Fields or walk just ten minutes to explore the vast expanse of Victoria Park. You’re also a four-minute walk from vibrant Broadway Market and a fifteen-minute stroll from both colourful Columbia Road Flower Market and Hackney Central.
