Where to begin...John and Mario's place is absolutely wonderful. It is exactly as described (except better!). It is a self-contained studio flat in the lower-level of a very pretty Georgian terraced house. You share John and Mario's front door, and then have your own, locked door to access the studio flat. It is all very private and secure. The flat itself has everything you need. Spacious bathroom, sitting area, dining area and queen-sized bed. It has a private, very charming back garden. We delighted in using the fireplace in the evenings with a night-cap in hand.

The location is great, removed from all the noise and hustle-and-bustle of very central London but still close to everything. It is in a leafy-green neighbourhood which is very safe and friendly, with nice pubs and restaurants minutes walks away. We really enjoyed the walk to Angel Tube station (15 minutes), which was nearly exclusively along Regents Canal. There are closer stations and many nearby buses but this one suited us best.

The flat is very well equipped with everything you need (all sorts of kitchen stuff, hair-dryer, umbrellas, toiletries, etc) and very nicely had fresh milk, coffee, bread, fruit and eggs (and more!) to get us started for our stay.

I highly recommend John and Mario's place. I can't wait to go back!
