Mark and Andrea’s place is lovely. It’s a cleverly designed space, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Mark was a really welcoming host with lots of helpful tips on transport and where to eat locally. Newington Green is a top location. It has some great cafes (I loved Belle Epoque) and a village feel while being well served by frequent buses to Upper St and the West End. Plus Canonbury Station was just a short stroll through a leafy neighbourhood. I really enjoyed my five day stay there and wished it had been longer.
