Maria and her sister Ann made us very welcome in the lovely flat in Finsbury Park. It is a very comfortable flat, clean and well appointed.
It is a quiet road but only a short walk to the busy Stroud Green Road where there are lots of cafes and restaurants. There is a nice pub on the corner of the road only five minutes walk from the flat. There is also a great cafe called Front Room which is also only five minutes from the flat and does a great breakfast. It is quite easy to get into different areas of London from the Finsbury park tube and bus station which is about a 10 minute walk from the flat. This is a good base from which to explore areas of North London like Islington, Highgate, Hampstead and Hackney. All in all we had a great weekend staying at Maria's place.
