Reasonably priced & clear instructions. Our family of 4 really enjoyed the neighborhood’s quiet & quaintness. Walking through the green space to access the trains was enjoyable. Highly recommend hiring a cab if flying, though.

Loved the place, was perfect for our family visiting London. Great quiet neighborhood and lots of businesses available nearby. Made great use of the washer/dryer and the drying rack. Close enough to the tube station to either walk or take a short bus ride.

We enjoyed our stay in Highbury. It was a pleasant walk though parks to get to the tube station. There is a nice little grocery nearby that we frequented. The flat itself was sufficient for our needs, with plenty of bedding and towels. Small space but that’s to be expected downtown, and the price and location made it worth it.

Great stay in typical London flat. Close to supermarkets, shops, pubs, restaurants, quick connection via tube or bus to city centre (10-15 min walk to Tube stations, 1hr Piccadilly Line to Heathrow…). Small flat, good for 4-5 people (being 5, we had to build/unbuild the sofa bed every day). Single glazing (not unusual for older buildings) but we’ll-heated. Rather soft mattresses so if you‘re prone to back aches, be warned :). Water pressure in shower a bit on the low side (which, in my experience, is quite usual), but overall we felt welcome, comfy and had a great week.
