Alex's place feels like a real home. Bright, colourful, comfortable, and well equipped. The bathroom is fully renovated, the beds are great, there are great books, lots of teas, and Islington's Upper road (a leafy 10 minute walk) from the flat, running from the Islington-Highbury tube stop down to the Angel stop, is lined with many fun and interesting spots for eating, shopping, and strolling. There's even a local theatre.
Great for any age, this is definitely aa good choice, in a hip area that's also leafy and quiet so it easily caters to family travellers as well.
