Ed's home in North London is beautiful and spacious-- for the area, a difficult find! The house is spread across four floors-- the ground floor is a large communal space with a lovely kitchen (though the appliances are not necessarily straight forward... be sure to ask Ed for detailed instructions on their use) and access to a very nice garden area with plenty of comfortable seating. We loved the hammock! The first floor is another communal area-- a lounge with a TV but not as open or large as the space on the ground floor. The next two floors have the bedrooms. Be warned that it can get hot on the highest floor in warm temperatures but we managed with windows, and a borrowed fan, fine. The master bedroom is really lovely and a great retreat. Ed and his family were lovely enough to remove their personal items so we could have access to storage which was great for our 2 week stay. Ed also allows access to his large Mac computer and printer as well as his washer/dryer which can be very handy while abroad. Only negatives are the bathrooms... one is larger with a full shower and tub which is what we used most often because the other shower in the smaller, second, bathroom required us to clear up the water after the shower... it has a wet room feel to it. Also the main door we used is really finicky and wouldn't close well which Ed warned us about but was still a bit frustrating at times when we couldn't get it closed! Note I also wouldn't agree that it is a 5 minute walk to Highbury and Islington.... more like 7-8. Not a big deal (what we're used to!) but something to be aware of... and I walk quickly and used to live in London for reference. Is 5 minutes to Holloway Road and buses to get into Angel/Islington which is lovely. Overall, Ed did everything he could to make sure we had a great stay... really went above and beyond. It is a perfect place for families who want to be able to spread out but still be together! Would return to his place again!
