Everyone's reviews are correct! Loic is a terrific host, he is quick to respond to any questions that you may have before and during your stay. The Angel station and many bus stops are very close to his place so it's easy to get anywhere. The room is as described, a bit compact but perfect if you just want a place to crash between sightseeing and enjoying the city. Islington itself is a great neighborhood and has a bunch of great shops and restaurants within walking distance. I also enjoyed running on the canal trail near Loic's house. Definitely a great place to stay if you want to enjoy all that London has to offer.
