Osos was absolutely brilliant. I cannot speak highly enough of her and would unhesitatingly recommend Osos as the thorough,knowledgeable professional that she is. I found her help a tremendous asset. She was also unstintingly willing to go the extra mile and nothing was too much trouble plus a very calming, capable and unflappable presence. I've been very grateful for her help Natasha

We had a wonderful experience with Elena today! She arrived right on time and did an exceptionally thorough job cleaning our home. Everything was spotless and completed efficiently within the allotted three hours. We were so pleased with her professionalism and attention to detail that we've decided to have her back on a fortnightly basis.

Local information about Islington

Islington is inner-London's most densely populated borough, with the 200,000 residents who call it home crammed into less than 6 square miles that extend from Crouch Hill in the north, to Farringdon in the South, Canonbury in the east and King's Cross in the west.

Islington incorporates the postcode areas N1, N4, N5, N6, N7, N8, N16, N19, EC1, EC2, NW5 and WC1 and is serviced by multiple tube and rail stations including Tufnell Park, Archway, Upper Holloway, Crouch Hill, Finsbury Park, Arsenal, Drayton Park, Holloway Road, Camden Road, Angel, Highbury & Islington, Canonbury, Caledonian Road & Barnsbury, Essex Road, Old Street and Farringdon.

Islington is known for its Victorian and Georgian townhouses set on communal garden squares. The housing stock also includes many flats in the form of converted terraces, warehouse conversions and modern new-build apartments.

Housekeep cleaned its first house in Islington in 2014, and there are now hundreds of experienced domestic cleaners available in the area, including in Clerkenwell, Pentonville and Mildmay.
