Would never go back again and would not recommend it to anyone
Pros:

the room was fine.

Cons:

there were cobwebs on the bannisters. the light switches were black and grubby. the weighing scales clearly hadn't been wiped down for a long time.
the battery was beeping in the kitchen smoke alarm so I reported it as we were right next to the kitchen and would have had our sleep disturbed. instead of coming to fix it, they removed it and it was not put back for the whole of our two night stay. the fire door to the kitchen was also propped open all day. For our own safety i had to remove the wedge and close it. I was not impressed with their standards of safety or cleanliness.

Good value, friendly and clean
Pros:

Host is friendly; bedroom and shared spaces are clean; perfect location for the Emirates (or anyone who likes hanging out in the most fun part of Finsbury Park).

Great place to crash for just a single night!
Pros:

The location was very good with the train stations, grocery stores, cute bookshops, coffee shops, and more all within walking distance. The room was very quiet, especially once the windows were closed.

Cons:

There were quite a few flights of stairs to get to the room since it was the very top one, and there was no lift. This made it difficult with my rather large bag. The shared bathroom is typically not my favorite, but it was very clean!
