This is a lovely flat, well located 5 minutes from Canonbury Overground and 15 minutes from Highbury-Islington tube. It is a short walk to Newington Green, where we enjoyed meals at the Acoustic Café Brasserie, Jolene Restaurant, and had a pint at the Lady Mildmay. There is also an excellent greengrocer and an off-license well stocked with groceries. The flat has a comfortable bed, large windows, a great TV, a comfortable sofa and a small but workable kitchen. We had only one minor glitch.
After a long overnight flight, we were greeted by cold, rainy London weather (quaintly referred to by the BBC as a “weather bomb”). When we arrived at the flat on Friday afternoon, the temperature inside was 12 degrees Celsius; it soon became apparent that the heat was not working. We were able to reach the contact person who responded quickly and was understanding and sympathetic, but unable to resolve the situation. With the help of an English friend of ours, we were able to diagnose the problem, and Josh arranged for a plumber who resolved it by Saturday afternoon.
For the remainder of our week we had a warm and very pleasant flat to return to after our daily excursions. We very much appreciated the prompt response to an unforeseen problem, and have no hesitation recommending this flat for your London stay.
