I rented Alison's room to help me move out of the area. Ergo I would like to first say I am biased towards the location. However that being said I would argue it's an authentic experience of London with great cafes and places to eat near by if you head towards Finsbury Park Station, Holloway Road and Archway tube stations/areas.
The room was spacious and clean, perfect for a single person or couple looking for a quick dive into London. Ideally situated between both crucial tube and bus routes so you can almost get everywhere from there.
Alison was a lovely host and a grand chat can be had if you or her are around. A personal favourite we're her two cats who are just the friendliest.
Strongly recommend!
