What a delightful place to spend four summer days in London! The antique furnishings coupled perfectly with the otherwise minimal, fresh decor and great art. Lots of natural light and the little kitchen and bathroom had all we needed (coffee in the morning, small fridge to keep light meals cool and a hob/grill for the occasional toasty!) . Highbury is a great neighborhood and the flat is located on a residential street around the corner from one of THE BEST cheese shops we have ever been to. It is walking distance (although we often took the bus) to Highbury and Islington which is a vibrant neighborhood full of antique shops (including mid-century) and markets, pubs, coffee houses and parks. The tube stop there gets you anywhere in London in no time.

Sarah Jane and Gervase were accommodating, reliable hosts that communicated well and even picked us up from the local tube stop with our luggage!

The flat is on the attic level of their family home and accessed through a shared staircase, but we very much felt like it was our own place and loved passing through their wonderful art and decor on the way up.

I would highly recommend staying here for a romantic visit or for any discerning, conscious traveler seeking an authentic, pleasant place to call home base while in London.
