I am retired from a career in law and travel. I am interested principally in visiting European cities of culture so am looking for central accommodation such as I am offering so that I can enjoy exploring on foot and by city transport. I live alone but usually travel with one or two friends.

Beautiful interior, wonderful neighborhood with all shops, restaurants, etc nearby. Great kitchen in which we did lots of cooking. Bridget left helpful recommendations and the fridge was stocked with delicious treats.

Read More...Everything went very smooth. The flat is very spacious and well laid out. I felt very comfortable. The flat is extremely well located. Saddler's Wells, the Angel, and Islingthon Hgistreet are just round the corner. I hired a bike and cycled the canal north. A very beautiful trip. I highly recommend this place.
