Mary is a wonderful host, very generous, relaxed and friendly so I felt right at home. She made me feel welcome to use the living area whenever I felt like it, and left out coffee and breakfast things every morning. She had lots of tips about things to see in London and in her neighborhood. Her flat is in a great location: a quiet square but just a minutes walk from Upper Street and from there you can catch a bus to most central London areas, or walk 10 minutes to one of two nearby underground stations (Angel and Highbury & Islington). There is a lot to explore in the area: great restaurants, boutiques, and cafes as well as a theater and cinema.
The weather was cold when I stayed but the house was cosy and warm, the room has a full length mirror, wardrobe with lots of hanging space, a desk and a window with lots of sunlight and a view of the square.
