Bright double room in Islington.
I'm offering a light, bright, simply furnished room with great views of the City and a comfortable King-sized bed. There's an over-the-bath shower in the bathroom, which you'd share with me, and a separate loo downstairs. I live in!<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />I'm offering a bright, good-sized double room with a comfortable King-sized bed and great views of the communal garden and the City skyline beyond. My flat is a two-bedroom maisonette in a frankly unprepossessing postwar council block. It is NOT a plush or attractive building - but nor is it some dystopian hellhole. While it won't be winning any architectural awards any time soon (or any beauty prizes), it's perfectly safe and in a stellar location - and once you've crossed my threshold, you'll find a warm, clean, nicely furnished space - and a welcoming host.<br /><br />There are five bus routes on my doorstep, all offering swift and easy access to the centre of town, and two tube stops within a brisk 10/15 minute walk - An
As noted above, my flat is undistinguished - but Canonbury/Islington in general is fantastic! Upper street is very buzzy - there are stacks of restaurants of all types and price, and lots of bars and pubs. The world-renowned Almeida theatre is a ten-minute walk away, as is the Kings Head theatre pub and the Union Chapel (for gigs, events and of course worship). I enjoy walking to/from London Fields and Broadway Market along the canal - or you can walk to Camden in the other direction. There's a direct bus (the 341) to the South Bank and all that has to offer, which is too much to list here!
I'm a copywriter for an illustrated books publisher in central London and, unsurprisingly, my interests pretty much chime with my occupation - I love books, words, the arts and culture. I'm so lucky to live in the middle of this wonderful city with all the opportunities it affords to enjoy all those things! 

I like to think I'm fairly easygoing and affable. I'm always interested to meet new people and experience different cultures - and isn't Airbnb a great way to do that?
