Emily was a very receptive host, willing to accommodate our wishes and communicating freely. The flat served us very well (2 couples plus a 15 yr old) - small bedrooms but adequate with good quality mattresses. The top floor open kitchen/dining/living room worked well and is very light and airy with direct access to the roof deck. Unfortunately we didn't have the weather to exploit the deck but its clear views across to the much-vaunted St Paul's and now the Shard made a small house feel much larger. Without that I'd have found the 'rustic-farmhouse-in-the-city' furnishings somewhat dowdy though characterful.

The location is good in a quiet backwater with various 'wants' close at hand and everything else only ten minutes walk away. Angel and Kings Cross tubes make to easy to get anywhere in central London.
