We had a 12 days stay with Karen - who is extremely helpful and friendly. The place is clean and quiet yet convenient from London's main areas. Neighbourhood is nice and accessible. Karen's place is a convenient bus away (only 4 stops away! or we chose to walk for 10mins) from Finsbury Park Tube Station which is well connected by the Picadilly and Victoria lines (highly recommend the Victoria line during rush hour!). A short peaceful walk in the neighbourhood brings you to convenient stores and there are eateries and bakeries, KFC at Finsbury Park itself. It is also only 2 stops away from Crouch End which is quaint and hosts many good eateries (Bistro Aix and Coffee&Cakes) for breakfast or a night snack. The view from Karen's lounge is amazing - you will be able to see Alexander Palace up on the hill. ~ Definitely recommend this place for anyone who wants to be slightly away from the bustle of the city but do not want to be too far away from all the action in it. Convenient stores open until 11pm (tesco) or midnight (sainsbury local) which made late night grocery shopping a breeze along your way back from Finsbury Park to Karen's place. The place is also only 35₤ from Heathrow Terminals 123 and 40₤ from Terminals 4&5 by taxi - or approximately 1 hr by the Tube that gets you straight into Finsbury Park Tube Station. =) Again. We enjoyed our stay and we are already starting to miss London and Finsbury!
