Colour in Islington

A flat with plenty of charm, this Islington home is a solid base for exploring the capital. You'll find plenty of delightful features here, from the exposed brickwork to the elaborately-tiled bathroom floor, and we love the large kitchen, perfect for the budding chef in the group – although it'll be a bit of a squeeze around the small dining table. We are also fond of the small patio, ideal for catching that rare bit of London sun. And with a tube station a short stroll away, you're well connected for a bit of exploring.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living
area
*This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*Your host will provide toiletries for your first few days – those staying for longer will need to provide their own after they run out
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
