The location is fantastic—quiet and peaceful, yet within walking distance to the city center. The host was incredibly friendly and responsive, always quick to reply to any questions we had. We felt very well taken care of throughout our stay. Highly recommend this lovely apartment in such a central, charming neighborhood! Thank you for hosting us!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the clean, beautifully decorated apartment and its peaceful yet central location. It’s great to know our communication and support helped make your stay smooth and enjoyable. We’d be delighted to host you again anytime!
This property is in a great location, between Old Street on the Northern Line and Barbacan Station, very easy to walk to either of them. There are a lot of great eateries very close by.It is a small flat, up some narrow stairs, so you should be fit to stay here, especially when carrying up luggage.The kitchen is good, with a kettle, stove, microwave, fridge and freezer, stacked with fridge on top.The bathroom is very small with a really skinny shower. The towel rack is heated and seems to be automatically connected to the light switch. I loved having a warm towel when getting out of the shower. All in all, I would stay here again.

Liked: Communication
Honestly, it was ok. Good communication prior to check in and check in process was clearly communicated (although it involves picking up keys from a corner shop which is around an 8 minute walk from the flat - not ideal if you have luggage). Amenities such as shampoo were provided, although no washing up liquid and there was only one loo roll which felt a little stingy! Flat was clean and spacious, location is excellent, handy for multiple tube stops and close to useful amenities like a supermarket. Beds were comfortable and shower had good water pressure. One downside is that only one set of keys were provided, which was inconvenient at times and I can imagine this being an issue for others since there potential for up to 4 people to stay here at once.
Lovely bright flat with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Spotless, well equipped and exactly as described. The location has a real neighbourhood feel to it — and a bonus we didn't expect was a weekday street food market right outside, great for a quick and cheap lunch. The host was responsive, helpful and easy to communicate with throughout. Would recommend and would stay again.
Appartement propre, bonne connexion wifi, tout était très pratique et confortable.
