About this apartment rental
My apartment offers a great opportunity to spend time in Central London in a quiet, secure environment . It is situated just over the road from the Regent's Canal, a 10 minute walk to the very fashionable Upper Street Islington (Angel tube) and the same distance in the other direction to St Pancras International and King's Cross cultural hub, underground and mainline rail links. My 'maisonette'/duplex flat is clean, well-kept, well-furnished and newly re-decorated with a stylish well-equipped kitchen. It has ground floor access and stairs to the two bedrooms on the first floor and bathroom. There is an additional WC on the ground floor. My small private garden is at the rear of the property, with a dining table, chairs and parasol ideal for al fresco dining and relaxing when the weather permits! It is situated on a very well-maintained estate of 4 storey blocks of flats and 'maisonettes' /duplex apartments, with a security entrance, open spaces, gardens and a baseball/football area.
The British Library, Camden, Regent's Park, the British Museum and shopping areas are within walking distance. The local area is buzzing with bars and restaurants, cinemas and King's Place cultural centre by the side of the canal. Granary Square behind King's Cross/St Pancras stations is a fascinating, newly restored area that was was once a major part of Britain's industrial past. Now it is a vibrant, 'chill-out' area with bars, restaurants and shops - all in transformed Victorian industrial warehouses. The London Canal Museum is close by. All of this is just a few minutes' walk along the lovely canal tow path from my apartment. I love my home and would like others to enjoy it too as well as all the wonderful sites and experiences London has to offer. I just would like to ask guests to treat the apartment with care and respect the fact that it is my home and I only rent it out when I am away travelling. Thank you

The property was great. Clean. The host left in abundance of local materials to help us in our stay. Family was very happy. Proximity to Kings Cross station was a huge plus. Definitely recommend.

This is a really comfortable place with a nice amount of space and a lovely garden area in the back. With our family of 5, the teenagers all slept in one room with a double bed and 2 foam mattresses, while my husband and I slept on the double bed (queen? It fit us both fine) in the front room with the most comfortable mattress! Shirley gave us all the information we could possibly need and made space for all of our stuff. She communicated quickly and was kind enough to let us drop off our bags early while the cleaners were still there. There is wonderful water pressure in the shower, although there is a lot of water noise in the walls when anyone is running water. The children's play area is right outside the flat, so that noise is another thing to be aware of. That could be nice if you also have small kids with you! Walking to the flat with our (carry-on) luggage from St. Pancras wasn't too far. The canal walk area is very neat and would be really nice on a cooler day! I wish we were able to explore more. Getting around London from Kings Cross was easy once we figured it out. I wouldn't hesistate to recommend Shirley's home.

Our family stayed here for 5 days while exploring London. Great location close to Kings Cross. Host allowed us to drop off our bags early, which was much appreciated after our long flight from the US. Loved the 1.5 bathrooms and there was always hot water. The mattress was a bit hard for my taste, but the price and location made up for it.

My husband, sister and I stayed at Shirley's apartment for a week. It was in a very quiet neighborhood yet only a few blocks from High Street with its shops, pubs, and ice cream (of course). Kings Cross / St. Pancras Stations are close by via a beautiful walk along part of the Regents Canal. The Tube and main city bus routes located nearby, gave us access to wherever we wished to travel in the city.Shirley greeted us herself to give a brief albeit thorough survey of the apartment, garden patio, and kitchen. The apartment was exactly as indicated in the site description. It was clean, well maintained, and appointed. It fit our need for a pleasant retreat from a hectic day of sight-seeing. We look forward to returning to visit London someday and would be very happy to stay here again.
