We had a very good stay at the flat in Islington. The location is great, near a lot of shops and restaurants (a corner shop just across the road) with good public transport only five minutes walk away and it was amazingly quiet at night. The flat has just been refurbished and was very clean. The big kitchen is still lacking some sufficient equipment but this might improve as soon as renovations are completely finished.
Since the bedrooms are in the basement they were nice and cool during the very hot days in London this mid July.
Communication with Portico was no problem at all, swift and friendly.
