Recently spent 5 nights at 13 Pyrland Rd which turned out to be a great base for getting out and about in London.There are local grocery shops,pubs and cafes but the big plus is the great transport links from Canonbury station.A few stops and you are at Shoreditch for the High St/Spitalfields and Brick Lane markets.One stop the opposite direction and you are at Highbury/Islington and its attractions and then the Victorial Line whisks you to Oxford Circus and then on to Green Park for Knightbridge/Kensington.The apartment delivers space and comfort and the hosts charming/friendly/helpful.All in all a great place to stay and so much better than your average hotel room and cheaper too so value for money. Have no hesitation in recommending.
