Tessa's place is a great location to stay at while visiting London. It's located near a couple of undergrounds (Highbury/Islington and Angel station) and quite a few buses which make visiting central London a breeze, and Islington is also a fun place to explore in its self. I stayed at Tessa's for a month and didn't come across too many issues. The biggest being the trash can area which is shared with the neighbors. It seems to be a dumping ground for anyone so it was filled with other's trash and clothes our entire stay. The shower isn't particularly warm, and you can occasionally hear the neighbors below and above you (but that's just apartment living). Other than that, it was a nice warm, flat to come back to after being out all day, and was very pleasant to spend a morning/afternoon in reading and having coffee/tea. I totally felt at home while staying here, and I definitely recommend Tessa's flat to anyone interested in staying in London/Islington! Thank you, Tessa!
