We had a perfect stay. Setting the tone, our flight was late and we arrived 2 or 3 hours late, but Clare hung on, and we were warmly welcomed, not even a hint of reprimand despite the inconveniently late arrival. Clare's flat is great, with a fully equiped kitchen, including dishwasher and washing machine, cooking utensils, good size refrigerator stocked with essential cooking ingredients. The bathroom is a generous size, the shower is wonderful, with hot water on demand. And the bed is so so comfortable that we had trouble getting out of it each morning. Clare left us a beautiful bunch of roses that slowly opened up during our stay, so beautiful, a bottle of wine that so very welcome after our long tiring journey, a super helpful guide covering everything in the flat and including tips on local restaurants which were utterly accurate (you MUST try the Gate Islington, her favourite, and now ours too), and Oyster cards that we could top up to get around London on public transportation. Clerkenwell is a great neighborhood, safe, quiet at night, far enough from the madding crowds of the main tourist hubs, but within comfortable walking distance for anybody who enjoys walking, and within easy access via buses and the underground. And if you need to shop for essentials, Waitrose is right downstairs, literally. Stay here if the flat is available, it is perfect.
