The room is beautiful and spacious as seen in the pictures and the guest bathroom is great as well. Ralph is very thorough to make sure your stay is a good one and the communication with him was very good even for a few days when he was out. The house is a short walk away from a couple of subway stations but since I love walking I just strolled downtown (45-60m depending on where you're going) and sometimes returned via bus, which is the most practical option (cheaper, faster at night, and more direct). Buses from different places always left us 1-2 blocks away.
I specifically chose to stay in Islington because it's a very nice and lively neighborhood. You're a short walk away from the beautiful Regent's Canal and around the Angel station there are lots and lots of shops and restaurants of all kinds.
