Tim and Esnayder's beautiful and wonderfully equipped home is an oasis of calm tucked away in a pretty little Georgian street off Islington High Street. It is easily accessible, just a short walk from Angel Tube Station, in an historic and fashionable neighborhood which has lots to see and do. We chose the house for a family reunion to celebrate our son's graduation and exhibition at New Designers just down the road.

The accommodation is on 3 floors with a choice of spaces to relax in - garden, downstairs parlour, upstairs sitting room, and chairs in the main bedroom. As the weather was so good we spent most of our time in the garden where we were able to sit round and chat.

Eating out was easy - the house is near a super choice of places. We chose The Banana Tree for our main family celebration meal. Super Vietnamese / Indonesian food with a contemporary twist.

Special memories of the house include: the charm of the architecture with its sweet little staircase climbing from the bottom to the top of house; very comfortable beds with smooth crisp linen; two wash basins in the bathroom; a chilled bottle of white wine waiting for us on arrival (which was such a thoughtful touch we left one for the next people); and being able to watch Andy Murray at Wimbledon get through to the final on the cinema sized TV screen!

Although we were only in London for an afternoon, a day and a morning, we (on our whole day) enjoyed a morning walk around Islington, taking in an artisan coffee shop and antique shops in Camden Passage, an exhibition at the Estorick Gallery, a Japanese lunch and then seeing the New Designers Exhibition in the afternoon.

A great trip! We'll be back.
