Marie has been a great host, even if we didn't get to actually meet her. The neighbourhood, Angel, is fantastic, just like the listing description says and very close to London's centre. There are quite a few good pubs and restaurants around, and the streets are very friendly to pedestrians. It's a pleasure to stroll around and get a feel of what it's like to live there.

Marie's home was a thing to visit on its own. She's put quite an effort in decorating her nest and it shows. While the pictures are accurate, they don't do justice to the feeling of home that you'll get by staying there a few days.

Her friends, Alexandra and Meriel, who helped us with the check in and check out were very friendly and helpful, too.
