My mom and I really enjoyed our time at Alexis's flat. Everything is as advertised -- the space is tidy, cozy, and conveniently located. The beds were very comfortable and the sofa was a nice spot to relax at the end of the day.

We really enjoyed exploring Islington and found it easy to get to other parts of the city via the Tube and the four bus routes just across the street. (We wound up using the bus more than the Tube, so I'd recommend looking up the routes in advance so you can see the city from a double-decker rather than being stuck underground.)

Alexis was a great host -- he provided us with some tasty bread and other basics like milk and tea to get us started. He also let us use a mobile that had Google maps, which was incredibly helpful as we made our way around the city.
