I stayed at Ilona's place for 12 nights for my first Europe trip. First of all, Ilona is a very sweet and lovely lady with good sense of humor. I could enjoy safe and pleasant trip in London thanks to her extra kindness. Her place is really clean and neat and she provided enough towels and blankets and even warm comfy bathrobes. She also let me use her kitchen (including all the dishes and utensils) and laundry and I could enjoy beautiful sunset at the kitchen. The neighborhood has many nice friendly Turkish restaurants and grocery stores and bakery where you can buy fresh fruits and delicious Turkish bread and various treats in low prices. Her place is 3-4 bus stops from Manor House tube station but it is a also a nice walk to enjoy to to and from the tube station. If you walk about 20-30 min through Finsbury park, you can directly reach Finsbury station, which goes directly to Victoria station. WiFi is also strong and you will have your own TV in your room so you can relax watching many interesting British TV in the evening. Ilona's cat Charlie is also lovely and very friendly. I was impressed by Ilona's environmentally friendly lifestyle and her voluntary service outside her UK distribution business. I already miss her and Chalie already. I strongly recommend her place if you are looking for a nice and affordable place to stay in London.

Thanks Ilona!
