An excellent place to stay if you want easy access to everything that London has to offer, from a comfortable and quiet base. Islington is really good for food, a bit of shopping and people watching, the flat is on a quiet street, and it's easy and relatively inexpensive to get from there to anywhere else on public transport. Gaetano and Alberto are well-travelled people and great hosts who made us feel instantly welcome; the wonderful smell of freshly baked banana bread was really enticing, and it turned out to be as good as it smelled! They were very thoughtful in giving us privacy while sharing their home with us, and were also ready with very good advice and tips about what to see and do in London, and how to get around. We had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay, and would definitely return when we can.
