Niko and Charles were fantastic hosts and their place was a perfect fit for our family. We had previously booked a flat with another host, but had not heard from them at all for months prior to our trip. With two days to go, I decided that their lack of response was troubling and canceled our reservation. I contacted Niko about her place and she got back to me within a few hours. It probably would have been sooner had I not contacted her in the middle of the night! She set up a time for us to talk on the phone the next day and make sure their flat would accommodate our family. The communication could not have gone more smoothly and was such a relief after the previous host!
Unfortunately, Niko was out of town when we arrived, but Charles met us at the flat and showed us around before he too had to leave town. The directions they gave were clear and we had no trouble finding it. The location was fantastic as well. It is in the heart of Islington, very close to the underground with bus stops right outside the door. Anything required is only a short walk away. There is also a great little alley at the back of the building with pubs, coffee shops and other great little shops as well. We went for a walk our first night and found a great little canal walkway only a couple of blocks away.
The flat itself was clean and very nice and and had everything we needed. My youngest had fun making sure the fish got fed every morning and the older kids figured out to play video games on their Apple TV. The flat is SO quiet for being right on a main street. We had no problems whatsoever!
Niko and Charles could not have been nicer or more accommodating and I would have no issues recommending their flat to anyone. I hope to get back someday for another visit!
