First of all, Micci has that kind of laid-back "cool" that makes traveling such a pleasure. Friendly, enthusiastic, and always looking out, she has her finger on the cultural pulse of London.
The space itself is lovely, with all the amenities you'll need. The garden is quite the perk; waking up to songbirds is as good as it gets. Super-comfortable, especially the bed -- make sure to set an alarm if you nap for a bit!
I was unfamiliar with Islington before my trip, primarily because I hadn't heard about it in a rock 'n' roll song. It's a residential neighborhood in a convenient location, with amenities, groceries, restaurants and pubs, and top-notch shopping.
Convenient to buses and the Underground, and a good hub for walking. I had a fantastic time!
