We had a wonderful time arriving at Old Street thanks to warm welcome of the host ;) The location is perfect (transport, food, visiting wise). The flat spacious, bright, clean, modern... just best. Also brilliant if you are visiting London with friends. An there are those tiny bits that count the most: communication with the host, book selection :), a couple of helpful info. My recommendation: BOOK IT. P.S. tasty lunch time food - Whitecross Street ;) don't miss the "all over" grafitti.
