Home truths
The lead guest must be 25 years old or above
This is a lived-in home so some of the owner's personal possessions will be present around the flat
As this is a studio flat, the space is quite small and compact, therefore those with children or those looking for lots of open space and storage should maybe look elsewhere
Heavy packers should note that this home is located on the second floor and there are a few staircases required to get to the entrance door
Tech lovers may not be best placed here, as this home is not heavy on technical appliances – however, this escape from technology is a rare delight in London!

Local guide
About Stroud Green
Stroud Green is a bit of a local secret. It's a foodie haven in an unpretentious part of North London, just next to Finsbury Park tube station and not far from Islington. There's a very friendly community feel to the area and it still has a real (dare we say authentic) neighbourhood feel. Off the main road with all its many restaurants, you'll find attractive leafy terraces of Victorian houses. Oh and be sure to track down The Faltering Fullback, a charming Irish pub packed with character and an excellent secret garden out the back.
