It's just as advertised...a great location, close to Hoxton, Islington and the Barbican, perfect for us as we'd booked concerts in these areas as part of the London Jazz festival. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, with useful information provided. The apartment was clean, warm and cosy and the neighbourhood seemed safe. Although there are some quite busy roads nearby the flat was quiet, being up on the fifth floor, with good double glazing, so no problem sleeping! Great views too - all in all a great place to stay for a city break. Thanks guys!
