Christine's house was exactly what we were looking for. We are a family with 2 kids (2 & 4) plus 2 grandparents. The house was big with a lot of rooms so we could all be together or have some space if needed. The kitchen was fabulous and well-stocked. The neighborhood of Islington is really cool and though I didn't know much about it before this trip, we spent a lot of time there and really enjoyed it. We especially enjoyed the pub The Crown, directly across the street. The house was immaculately clean. Best of all, Christine was the nicest host I've ever had. She was so helpful and offered to get us food since we'd be getting in late. And she left toys for the kids which was really nice. Note that there are steps in the house so if you have really little kids it could be a worry (though Christine also left a gate just in case). But my 2 were very happy running around on the stairs which are padded and I felt fine about it. Overall, a 5 star stay.
