Stay in the heart of London’s trendiest area in this rad city pad just a two-minute walk from Shoreditch High Street. With a multitude of buzzing cafes, bars and restaurants on its doorstep, this peaceful refuge for a solo guest or couple offers a surprisingly quiet contrast to all the nearby action. Sleek lines, bold colour blocks and minimal mid-century decor exude modern simplicity, with funky art prints and an open-plan layout that gives this loft-like space bags of character. Recline on the huge sectional sofa or let out your musical side with some fun on the djembes and pianos. We love the kitchen’s sleek metro tiles and the sunny dining area that’s perfect for intimate meals when you’re not out exploring your neighbourhood’s lively food scene (Brick Lane’s famous curry houses are just a ten-minute walk away). Our favourite spot, however, has to be the rooftop terrace. Accessible from both the living room and bedroom, this secluded spot feels like an urban oasis with its Acapulco chairs, sun umbrella and large plants. Whether you’re sitting here catching some rays over breakfast, or sipping sundowners before heading out for a night on the town, this coveted green space is the... cherry on top of this sensational Shoreditch home.
