It was really nice at Monika's. She's ever so welcoming and relaxed.
I'm from Islington so I didn't need to be filled in on the fantastic location and all the delights available in the immediate area.
We felt totally at home with Monika, she let us get on with it but was there to help and advise as necessary.
Upon leaving, the sun was shining and we were literally able to walk from her place back to the Eurostar at King's Cross, St. Pancras!
