I was nervous when booking this hostel at first, considering there were only few reviews. After living in here for three weeks, however, I sincerely recommend this hostel to you.
Cida is the hostel owner and she lives with the guest. Although she speaks Portuguese, you do not need to worry about the communication at all since she can also speak simple English and her translation app is always on. During my stay, she showed great care and hospitality to every guest. She is such a nice lady to get along with and the best landlord I have ever met. Besides, she is very tidy so the room is always clean.
The location of this hostel is super convenient! Sainsbury, Lidl, Tesco and all different supermarkets are close to you. The metro station, Finsbury Park, and buses are also accessible within a 10mins walking distance.
The neighbourhood is safe and you have your own locker and key to your room door.
I am really encouraging you to have a try to this hostel. Hope you enjoy!
