Monique's flat is definitely bright -- lovely large windows and feels roomy with two bedrooms. It is in a quiet street, yet a quick walk to public transportation -- many bus routes nearby to a variety of places, plus the Overground, and the Victoria Line and National Rail at Highbury & Islington, as well as being at walkable distances to nearby attractions in either Highbury, Canonbury, Newington Green, and Islington in general. This was a great boon for us as former London residents visiting for 5 weeks to see a slew of old friends and family. We were busy! The flat itself is comfortably furnished. It has a well equipped kitchen -- and we cooked at home a lot, mainly for ourselves, but a couple of times for invited friends (one or two at a time, although there is room to seat more for a meal); also a good bath and shower. Monique herself was very responsible and responsive despite being far away during our stay and she made sure we had all that we needed. All in all, a successful stay!
