Close to everything you need, host is very friendly and knowledgeable, space is laid out well. I see the vision and can envision the finished product. Currently, some of the finishes are lacking and still need to be completed; however, everything is useable.

Great location and roomy apartment
Tomos was a great host. Met us on arrival and introduced us to the apartment. For the two of us it was very roomy, clean, had all the requirements we could need for our 5 night stay. It was great to be able to wash our clothes before leaving. We had a great stay!

Well-thought out space
This is a great pied-a-terre that is just a quick walk along the canal to King’s Cross and Granary Square; closer at hand are a number of Ethiopian restaurants, shops and a nice coffee bar across the street.I really appreciated how well the flat was fitted out. Everything is well-designed so you have what you need close to hand and it stores away invisibly. There are thoughtful touches like a heated floor in the bedroom, good lighting everywhere, laundry facilities tucked away in the bathroom, great hot water. The multi-level design and invisible cupboards make it feel bigger than it is. The only thing to know is that there is no view. A large skylight over the stairs lights up the top-level study, and the entry level has a glass-frontage on the street (like a shop window) covered by a canvas blind for privacy; the rest of the flat is below-grade. This is evident from photos and did not bother me. I would certainly stay here again — the location is great, everything is there, and I also appreciated having a good workspace.

Well equipped unit in a great location
My stay was really great. The owner met me and gave me a quick tour to explain how everything works and then left me to it. The location is really great for getting out around London. Just a few minutes walk to the underground at Kings Cross and lots of restaurants and shops along that road. There is a convenience store directly across the street and a bus that heads straight to Borough Market (a highly recommended destination!).
The upstairs space in the unit was great for doing a little remote work or chatting with visitors without being down in the living/sleeping space. Having the full kitchen, dishwasher, etc meant that any leftovers from restaurants would not go to waste.

London designed
With a late arrival our host was there to give us a tour of everything before we settle down. This place is very efficiently and cleverly designed to accommodate two people who travel and we’re in and out every single day. It’s right on the bus line and the adjacent neighborhood is very pleasant. We enjoyed our stay there.

Great space in a central location
We had a great stay. The space was perfect for a couple.
The kitchenette had basic appliances, a sizable fridge and freezer, and ample glassware, dishware and utensils. It was stocked with tea, coffee, and spices.
The bed was comfortable and there was a large screen smart-TV with easy to use apps.
A highlight was the electric shower with good water pressure and temperature controls.
It was a short walk from the Kings Cross station and the Coal Drops center with many restaurants, shops and fun outdoor space.
The owner greeted us upon arrival, provided local recommendations, and was responsive to questions before and during the stay. He was flexible about the time of both our check-in and check-out.
All in all, the space was comfortable and provided a very nice stay in London.

A very nice, somewhat quirky apt, well-located near Kings Cross and Angel, Islington, and a short walk to Regent’s Canal and the shopping of the Coal Drops Yard.We were initially worried that there might be either not enough privacy because of the window onto the street or not enough light, because the apt is mostly in the basement. But our worries were dispelled. There is quite enough natural light. The living space is ample (we were here for 9 nights), the kitchen is adequately equipped, and the bathroom is also a nice size. The bed is very comfortable. It is important to note that Tomas, the owner, used to live here himself.Check-in was effortless, Tomas answered the questions we had and we had a very agreeable stay. Thank you!
