Charley's place was sunny and bright as advertised. It is perfectly located for transportation and for exploring Islington. Two excellent restaurants are five minute walk away -- Ottolenghi and 1215 by James Crawford. The brightness really helped with the first ten days of quarantine when we had to stay inside. The view of St. Mary's Church was lovely. It is an old building so there are some funky aspects of the apartment that took some getting used to, including English plumbing but nothing serious. Charley was a very nice host.
