Micci and her place lived up to the stellar reviews and enticing photos. From reservation to check out, Micci was friendly and helpful---she clearly loves her neighborhood and is interested in people. I had a great time talking to her about current affairs as well as our shared knowledge of Cotswolds country houses.
The Airbnb was bright and clean, with a very comfortable firm mattress and soft linens; spacious and stylish ensuite bathroom with warm and steady shower pressure; and all the amenities a traveller needs (coffee machine, fridge (with water and a bottle of wine, even), microwave, kettle with teabags, and some good reads as well. It was too cold to use the garden, but it must be lovely in the summer.
Highbury may not be for someone with a long list of tourist sites to see, but it is perfect if you want to wander a little around the canal, visit a local eatery or two (I went to Cooks & Books, Route and The Baring) but also see a few sites too.
