Once a Victorian bank depository, this giant loft not only offers a location we love, slap bang in the middle of London’s fashionable Shoreditch, but also a bona fide taster of the area’s creative spirit. The fashion and lifestyle stores of Boxpark are under a five-minute walk away, while history lovers can head to Charterhouse, a former monastery. There are a vast array of stylish bars and restaurants to enjoy right on your doorstep – from rooftop terraces to a Michelin-starred wine bar or have a drink on your private patio. From this home’s bold street-art murals and open-plan layout, to the upcycled plant pots, and temple-like main bedroom, this is East London in thrilling microcosm. Crucially, though, there’s also homeliness and luxury here and who wouldn't want to be surrounded by so much art, including Andy Warhol originals? It's a great conversation starter.

Home truths:
*This apartment is on the 4th floor with no lift access, so no need to go to the gym.

*You won't find a manual or handbook for this home, but your host should be on hand if you have any issues.
*This is a lived-in home. You should expect some of the host's personal belongings to be present during your stay.
