Home truths
This apartment is on the ground floor but there are several stairs up to the front entrance - it's therefore not wheelchair accessible or suitable for those with restricted mobility.
There is a private balcony for your own use however it is accessed by leaving your front door and up the first flight of stairs (it is not accessed internally within the flat).
The flat overlooks Highbury Fields, where you will find facilities such as tennis courts, a children's playground, and a public swimming pool.
The home benefits from underfloor heating, a smart Nest thermostat, and Alexa.
The kitchen lacks basic cleaning supplies, so you might want to bring your own. For longer stays, you will need to buy extra dishwashing liquid, washing powder and toilet paper.
You'll likely need some extra pillows here.

About Canonbury
Canonbury is one of the most friendly and unpretentious pockets of Islington, packed full of gorgeous period houses, independent cafes and antique shops. Extremely well connected transport-wise by the Victoria Line from Highbury and Islington station, it works well as a base to explore both Central London and more villagey areas like Stoke Newington further to the East. You'll be rubbing shoulders with trendy media types and affluent young families and working out how to move here long-term yourself.
