Julian is very welcoming and made us feel very much at home in his flat. We had lovely conversations with him. The accommodation is as expected from the pictures. It is clean and there is plenty of space and a nice bathroom for only your use. The location is great with good pubs and restaurants not far away. It is lovely to walk along the canal to get to these. There are also good transport links especially the buses stopping nearby with connections to Old Street tube but also St Paul's (very useful during the tube strike that occurred while we were there. Angel tube and other bus connection are a reasonable walk away. All in all I would recommend staying with Julian. You will have a great experience!
