Following a 10 hour-long train journey from Monte Carlo to London, I was pleased to be greeted by “radiant” Maggi.
Her warm and friendly personality set the tone for what was to become a successful business trip. Her delightful Georgian terrace flat is conveniently situated between Angel and Highbury Islington underground stations, a 15 minute walk to each. Nearby, there’s a plethora of buses designated to convenient locations throughout the capital. Just around the corner is Essex Road with a vast array of commerce and restaurants. A short walk away is Upper Street with a vast selection of pubs, boutiques and restaurants, some of the best London has to offer. The room was exactly as in the photos and impeccably clean. The window is happily situated offering a perfect view of the garden, even when lying in bed. Maggi welcomed me with tea, coffee, water, biscuits and fruits in the room, and she’s set it up with a microwave, small fridge, kettle, plates and cutlery. Having breakfast by the window overlooking the garden, is a wonderful day to start the day. The room’s also equipped with a teli and plenty of space to hang your clothing. Situated on the lower level of the house affords it formidable privacy and blissful silence for a good night’s sleep. Maggi’s place has become “a home away from home” and it will be my pied-à-terre on all my upcoming trips to London. Don’t forget to ask her about the nose story in St Pancras. I hope my review was helpful. Bon séjour!
