Super convenient, spacious and light appartment with a view over the canal for watching runners, boats and cyclists, and checking the weather. The layout of the place is simple and clean, with lots of light as well as excellent west facing views. The bed was firm and comfortable with good linens, the kitchen has all the tools plus a “help yourself” note for basics like salt and tea. It’s a few stories up via lift, and is directly above a useful supermarket (popping out for morning croissant took me about 6 mins out and back).
Walking to Haggerston along the canal takes around 12 mins, 16 mins to the Haggerston station. To Angel along the canal path is around 16-18 mins. Canal walks were my favourite things, and there are a few cafes on the canal.
The neighbours are quiet, but some bass thump does come occasionally from cars driving past, but I am sensitive to that and it really wasn’t bad. The road is a bus route, which makes it quick to get to Highbury corner.
Communication was very good.
I recommend this flat- it’s a nice comfortable place to base yourself.
