We found this dwelling very convenient to our exploration of a vibrant part of the city. The
deck overlooks a green waterway, providing a breath of nature in this highly developed part of the city--lots of waterfowl, squirrels and a fox--to be seen. Nearby is an entry to the canal that provides its own route through the city, and above that is the lively boutique world of Islington with shops providing cheese, crepes, etc. You get a mix of old school pubs and the hip. Angel station is about a 15 minute walk away. The hosts are good communicators and set all up to advantage. The hidden gem, particularly for kids, was Ginge the cat--whom the girls looked forward to seeing each day at the end of our travels.
This is a good value and find in the city.
