The five of us have recently spent a fabulous weekend at the amazing home of Emily and John. A well enjoyed stay in a spacious property. A great relaxing location, yet with central London very quickly reached.

It was relaxing and inspiring, showing innovative use of a London Town house's architecture, with well planned interior design. The quirkiness of their home was absolutely amazing, mixing new with wonderful retro pieces. My wife particularly liked the kitchen ("it's wonderful".) It certainly has great facilities for the hardened chef, and helped confirm some tentative kitchenalia we've been dilly-dallying over for some time.

Whilst located in a quiet area, there is the odd shop a couple of minutes away, building up as you reach tube stations. A brisk 5-10 minutes walk to Kings Cross provides great access to central London; a similar time to Angel Islington provides an alternate tube route and a less touristy shopping area. We did visit with our pension-aged parents - so to give you an idea, on occasion this proved to be a 15-20 minute slow stroll.

We would recommend to anyone considering spending some relaxation time in London, whilst still having facilities within easy reach.

Our first AirBnB adventure, and a big hit.
