Beattie was an absolutely fantastic host. Her house is a delight and close to both Highbury/Islington and Holloway Road stations, making getting anywhere a breeze. The room was well-appointed and clean, and the croissant for breakfast a lovely surprise. Most of all I loved chatting to Beattie and befriending her dog, Tonto.
All in all, a wonderful experience of London, away from the tourist traps and with a host who could offer local recommendations, having been in the area for years. Would highly recommend anyone who wants a personable and attentive stay to come here.
