We loved staying in Tori's place! It provided easy access to the main attractions (about 5 minute walk from one Tube station & 15 minutes from another). We did not spend any time in Islington but it was easy access to the city. There is a noisy pub next door but usually it closed by 11PM so it was not an issue for us. There are several 24/7 convenience stores with snacks nearby. If you are looking for a trendy neighborhood walking distance from the main attractions this is not it but it suited our needs perfectly. I traveled with my mother and my brother and his partner. The apartment is 3 very small floors with the top floor being a bedroom and bottom floor being the second bedroom. Each bedroom had a private bathroom and shower which was perfect for some privacy with a living room on the second floor. Easy to get to from both Heathrow & Gatwick. Highly recommend!
