Joanna is a great and very welcoming host - she gave me wonderful advice about what to see in the area and how to get around London. Make sure you ask her for advice about restaurants and cafes in Islington (trust me on this). The flat is quiet, warm and cozy and the room is really lovely. All in all this is a great place to base yourself for a stay in London. You can't beat the location - a short walk to the tube and a lots of bus lines if you want to get around London easily. But there is also plenty to see and do just steps from the front door.
