Nuestra casa

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio

Our home is a contemporary maisonette (split-level house), finished at the end of 2014, 105 m2 with a lot of light coming through a massive Scandinavian style skylight. We live a minimalist, movement-rich lifestyle, with very little furniture and a lot of space to move, make and play together with our children. Our home has recently been featured in The Sunday Times Homes https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/furniture-free-living-rm3rtvgm2

The house consists of a large open plan kitchen and living room, two bedrooms (one with a balcony) and two bathrooms. There is space for up to 6 people. The master bedroom has a large king-size bed. The second bedroom has bunk beds and an office corner with a standing desk (dynamic workstation). We also have a large wool futon that can unroll to sleep two more people.

Our home is in a quiet, peaceful street in Hackney, straight next to the River Lea, and a short walk from Springfield Park and Walthamstow Wetlands, UK's largest urban wetland reserve. If you go for a walk you can spot swans, wild geese, herons and even kingfishers if you are lucky. At the same time, this is an inner London borough with Victoria and Overground line stations only a short walk away. East part of Central London (Shoreditch, Liverpool Street, Old Street, Angel) is within cycling distance.

Our house is very child-friendly with a lot of space to play, lots of toys, art and craft supplies and an indoor climbing frame with a removable pikler triangle, swing and a slide. There are also two beautiful parks just a couple of minutes walking away from our house with children playgrounds, a steam museum with working Victorian machinery, a skate park and an adventure park. So a lot to do with kids.

We can also leave you our bicycles and an electric cargo tricycle. It's beautiful to cycle next to the river and you can also use them to get around instead of using public transport.

Maybe it's worth mentioning that we don't have a TV, so if you don't want to miss watching something make sure to bring a device with which you can stream! There is a large monitor here that you can connect to your laptop. We have fibre broadband, so you won't have any problem with the quality.

Barrio

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra

The house is in a quiet, peaceful street in Hackney, straight next to the River Lea, Springfield Park and Walthamstow Wetlands, home to rare and protected birds. If you leave the window open you can hear birds singing. At the same time this is an inner London borough with Victoria and Overground line stations only a short walk away.

Hackney is a very vibrant and culturally diverse neighbourhood with authentic food from all over the world, a lot of artists and young families. It's a very green borough with a lot of parks and the highest percentage of cyclists in London. It's one of the most liberal and creative London boroughs, with a lot of independent shops and cafes, warehouse parties and strong art community.

We love living in Hackney because it has both - feel of a small town with a warm neighbourhood atmosphere, but at the same time is an inner London borough from where you can cycle to central London.

Atractivos

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa

Our house is right next to Lea river with its colourful house-boats and 10 min walk from Walthamstow Wetlands, Europe's largest urban wetland reserve with many rare and protected birds. Our closest neighbourhood is also famous for a large Orthodox Jewish community, which is in itself an interesting cultural experience and they make some delicious pastries!
