Cooling Down London, Greater London

Holiday Rental Description

This flat is undoubtedly cool. Firstly, it's minutes from the vibrant markets, delicious curry houses and quirky bars of Brick Lane. But it offers much more than a prime location.

We loved the open-plan living space, brought to life by the bold artwork on the walls and sewn together by the breakfast bar in the centre of the room. Perfect for sharing toast and jams in the morning, it expertly blends the living room and the kitchen. If you wanted to invite friends over for dinner, the room has a light, airy vibe that's ideal for a hosting space.

Of course, when you're in such proximity to London's world-class restaurants, you probably want to sample them. Myriad fine eateries are right on your doorstep, or you can hop on the underground at Liverpool Street to reach Soho in a matter of minutes.

Head in the other direction and you'll find the Olympic Stadium and the beautiful park that surrounds it. Given the array of accessible public transport, you can reach the cool districts of Peckham, Hackney and Dalston in less than half an hour.

Home truths:
* There is a Tesco Express next door to the apartment for convenient access to an ATM and supplies
* The flat is on the first floor in a twelve-floor building, which features an elevator
* Despite its central location, the flat is on a quiet street and avoids the noise of Shoreditch
