Mint Meringue

Located right in the heart of oh-so-trendy Dalston, this compact yet stylish aparthotel loft studio is the perfect base from which to explore East London. This home is all about sophisticated cool – ideally suited to its surroundings. Rustle up breakfast in your kitchenette, or if you've got work to catch up on, grab a coffee and a pastry from the cafe downstairs before heading to the colourful co-working space. With Dalston's vast array of boutiques, bars and restaurants, as well as Broadway Market, London Fields and the Geffrye Museum all within easy reach on foot, there's plenty to keep you entertained right on your doorstep. If you want to venture further afield, Dalston's two Overground stations give you access to the rest of the city. If, after a day of exploring, you're still feeling energised, head to the shared gym for a workout before coming back to the flat for a luxurious lather in the shower.
