Alexis is a great host, he was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. I visit London frequently and I love staying in Islington - there are all sorts of shops and restaurants nearby, and it isn't too touristy, lots of locals around. This flat is very handy to the Highbury and Islington tube atop which can easily get you anywhere you want to go. And, as other reviewers have said, it is remarkably quiet even though it is on a busy street. I am happy to recommend Alexis' flat.
