Home truths
There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home on the third floor.
Given the home's central location, you may hear some street noise. Light sleepers might wish to pack earplugs.
This home is a little short on wardrobe space, so we'd recommend packing light.
This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other residents during your stay.
Free on-street parking is available. Though, we recommend skipping the car here and exploring London on foot or by public transport instead.

Local guide
About Islington
Tree-lined terraces of very enviable Georgian townhouses, amazing restaurants, coffeeshops, and gastropubs, it's not hard to see why Islington is so popular with affluent media types. It's very well connected (ten minutes on the Victoria Line to Oxford Circus) and it's got a wonderfully residential feel - almost totally tourist free for some strange reason. Have a roast lunch at the Drapers Arms on a weekend and you'll quickly realise what makes Islington living so sought-after.

Relax with a book in Highbury Fields
Perfect to sit or stroll after a good meal and to enjoy the local lifestyle. Highbury Fields is the largest green open space in the London Borough of Islington. Perfect for summer days.
Check what's on at Union Chapel
This gothic revival church is a live event space, working church and a homeless drop-in centre. If there are no events during your stay, this stunning 19th century chapel is still worth a look.
Grab a bite at Shillibeers
A surprisingly spacious bar and grill tucked neatly away on a quiet mews, Shillibeers has great beers and tasty food and whether you’re more Angus Steak or Halloumi veggie, their burgers are superb.
Savour the perfect brunch at Sunday Cafe & Restaurant
This cosy café is a local favourite for what many might call the epitome of brunch. Expect plates stacked high with colourful fresh goodness and queues at the weekend, but it's well worth the wait.

Opened in 2018, Xi'an Impression is easily the best restaurant in the area and brings customers from all over the city to try its authentic and great value Chinese food.
Indulge in Pizza at Zia Lucia
Zia Lucia is extremely popular - we would recommend going at lunch time if you want to ensure you get a table. Making no compromise on the quality of the pizza, the oven here is from Naples.
Choose off the chalkboard at Westerns Laundry
An airy, modern-industrial restaurant offering British & Spanish small plates plus natural wines. Enjoy stunning dishes like ox cheeks and a lovely wine selection in a cosy and charming atmosphere.
Stroll through Caledonian Park
Enjoy a leisurely walk through this beautiful park, admiring the well-maintained flowers and hedges. Find tranquility on the benches, or let your furry friend roam freely with the dog-friendly amenities.
