Clare was a great host! She has an awesome home in a wonderful neighborhood. Simply a 3-5 minute walk to Old Street Tube stop. Perfect sized apartment for a couple who actually wants a little space to 'live' and not be cramped in a tiny hotel room for a week or two.
A story to prove just how awesome she is: My husband and I had been traveling for a couple weeks in Europe and seriously needed to do laundry. Clare's machine broke just before our arrival, but to remedy the situation she left us PLENTY of $$$ and directions to the local wash and fold laundromat - so we could get our clothes washed asap (it was literally around the corner). It might have even worked out better for us -- since the guys washed, dried and folded our laundry!
