Mary is friendly, easy going and helpful about pointing out things to do and see near her. The location of the flat was excellent for me - 5 mins walk from Highbury/Islington and an easy 15 min walk along Upper St from Angel. Really nice flat, high ceilings, lots of white, tranquil view over the square, quiet (I slept well). Cool shops, book shops, cafes galore, swish places like Ottolengi nearby. Also, Mary let me use the flat during the day to work, which was a huge bonus.
