My friends and I were planning a relatively short notice weekend together in London when we came across Oliver's flat in Islington, and I am really glad that we did.

The flat is located very centrally, with easy access to the Underground, Overground, and buses/night buses. There are shops and supermarkets nearby if you'd like to cook in the flat (which has everything you need for a dinner for 4 or 8). The apartment is spacious and has a fun, international, relaxed ambiance to it. If you're lucky enough to have sunny days during your stay you will really appreciate the apartment's many large windows with views out over Islington and the building's central courtyard/playground.

Oliver was a terrific host. He was flexible with check-in and check-out times and showed us around the house when we arrived. He pointed out anything that we might want to be aware of such as where to find extra towels, locations of various things in the kitchen, how to run the shower, etc. We had a nice conversation about the university that both he and my group of friends attended, he gave us instructions to call him if we needed anything at all from help with the apartment to a restaurant recommendation, and then he was on his way.

Oliver was even nice enough to surprise my friends and I with a bottle of champagne in the refrigerator. At the end of our weekend together we really wished that we could stay longer. Thank you for a great flat and for contributing to our fun weekend together Oliver! I would definitely recommend Oliver's flat to friends, and would stay again if I have another get-together in London.
