Our stay in Monika's place was perfect. No complaints at all. The place is accurately described. It is bright, super clean and welcoming. Monika's communication was superb - both before and during the trip. She was very flexible with check-in which fit her and our schedules and that was a big help. It was great being able to do laundry right at the apartment (less packing for us).
Finding the place was easy. And we found the location to be great - close enough to the city center to easy exploration, but far enough from the bustle. Close to Overground, several bus lines and bike share. Being on the canal, and especially with the balcony was great - so relaxing. Perfect weather helped. Walks or bike rides along the canal were a great way to spend time. The Barge next door was a great spot for brunch.
There were four of us and there was plenty of room. If I was to return to London, I would not hesitate to stay at Monika's place again.
