Amazing property near park and underground station
Lovely flat with a nice ambience! I will definitely use it again in future. It is only a few mins walk to Highbury & Islington Station, and Highbury Fields park is directly opposite. Lots of great shops, cafes and restaurants nearby. I can recommend Fantail cafe on St Paul's Road! Lovely staff and amazing coffee and cakes!

Over Looking Highbury Fields
Excellent flat with high end kitchen and bath. Small but well furnished.
Balcony/terrace not connected to the flat and back room locked/not accessible although it was shown in the listing.
Listing could use a floor plan and square footage.
Pass the Keys were excellent in all respects - communication, responsiveness, and very helpful.
This is a lovely flat – beautifully decorated and appointed -- in an ideal location for exploring London. The neighbourhood has a ‘village' feel, but it's very convenient to get to Central London in a matter of minutes. Being right on Highbury Fields, the largest open space in this borough of London – is a particular delight. The not-so-good news: before I arrived, a blind had fallen down and a handyman was not able to put it back up while I was there. The bed-side lamp didn’t work. I would have liked some way to make fresh coffee-- a drip machine, filter cone or cafetière. The windows hadn't been cleaned for a while, so the beautiful views were somewhat obscured. I'm confident these issues have been remedied for future guests. The one policy that I hope gets changed: only 2 rolls of toilet paper were provided for a 9-day stay. When I asked about it where the rest was stored, I was told: “I am afraid we only offer consumables for the first two days of the stay." Never in my life have I stayed in a place that rationed toilet paper! Having said all that, none of these issues ruined my stay. I would happily stay there again.
