Staying with Cathy for the four days I was in London was an absolute treat! She was very welcoming and accommodating (even when I accidentally got lost on my hired bike!) and keeps a beautiful house that was a great place to recover from my jetlag. The neighbourhood is nice and quiet, but only a short minute walk through the park to Highbury & Islington station and the restaurants and bars on Upper Street. I highly recommend staying with Cathy while you're in London, I know I'll be coming back if I ever visit again! Thanks Cathy!
