Excellent base for a city trip. Within five minutes walking from both the Arsenal and Finsbury Park underground stations, which get you connected to the Picadilly and Victoria lines, as well as the overground railways. Near Finsbury Park there are plenty small groceries stores for anything you might need. The neighbourhood is OK. While we were there, there was an Arsenal match going on, so it was quite busy (lots of nice food stalls in the streets). But it wasn’t bothersome at all. The accommodation is clean and tidy, though not very big: don’t expect to be able to have elaborate dinners there. But that’s not what you need on a city trip anyhow.
