I highly recommend staying at Kate's place. She has a very nice one bedroom flat, and it's in a great neighborhood with lots a supermarkets and restaurants within a few minutes walk. It is located five minutes from the Highbury/Islington tube stop.

My wife and I stayed for five nights and it was a great spot to stay in London. We never met Kate, but checking in and out was easy. Kate's mum met us when we checked and showed us the flat. When we checked out, we simply gave the keys to the building manager, Tom. It was all very easy.

A great flat in a safe, cool neighborhood. Highly recommended!
