About this house rental

Stunning 1830s Georgian home in upscale Islington - completely remodeled in June 23. Primary bedroom with separate dressing area and luxury en suite with walk-in rainshower, two further double bedrooms and office/ 4th single bedroom, full bathroom with tub/ shower. Nestled in a quiet leafy terrace on one of London's most sought after addresses, this is the perfect base to explore the best that London has to offer: a peaceful, safe and elegant retreat in stunning Islington with all the comforts of home and more - perfectly connected to everything!

The layout: four bedrooms are on the lower ground floor, the primary with access to the garden and the office/ 4th single room with access to the street. The primary bedroom has its own en suite, the other bedrooms share a full bathroom a few steps up on the half-landing. The raised ground floor is a stunning, imposing open plan space comprising living room, dining room and kitchen that spans the entire length of the house, with 10 foot corniced ceilings, statuary marble fireplace and myriad original features complemented by graceful interior design and top of the line fixtures. The living room has a 55" smart TV; the kitchen has a 48" induction range cooker, microwave, toaster, kettle and new dishwasher, with French doors leading out to a balcony with stairs down to the large garden surrounded by greenery and birdsong - truly a haven in the city. The owners have lived all over London and would never choose anywhere else - it's easy to see why!

Angel/ Islington has everything you could wish for for a fantastic trip - world-renowned fringe theatre at the Almeida and Little Angel, dance at Sadler's Wells, 3 cinemas for independent movies and blockbusters, plus hundreds of boutiques, salons, galleries, restaurants and more dotted along upscale Upper Street and quaint Camden Passage (also famous for its antiques market). For some green space, Islington Green is a couple of minutes' walk, lots of playgrounds a short walk away, Highbury Fields 15 mins walk (with a huge playground and tennis courts). The Regent's Canal is a couple of minutes' walk with stunning canal side pubs, it's also a great place to walk, jog, ride bikes, feed the ducks, or simply stroll down to East London whilst watching the houseboats - Broadway Market, London Fields and Victoria Park are all within walking distance. Angel and Highbury tube give ideal access to the rest of London, you can even go to Paris in 2 hours from Kings' Cross, also a short walk from the flat! King's Cross itself has also been recently regenerated with fantastic restaurants, shops and open spaces to explore. Exmouth Market is another great local street with more shops and restaurant 15 mins' walk away. Covent Garden, Shoot and the West End are all 30 mins walk or 15 mins by bike or tube, and Shoreditch and the East End the same distance in the other direction.

This is a wonderful 3 bedroom property in the heart of Islington. So close to all the lovely shops and pubs / restaurants on Upper Street and has that wonderful London village feel. Couldn’t have been easier to get into the property and we will definitely be back! 5*s!!

This was a great location to visit London. Easy access to Underground for all top locations. Islington is walkable with many good restaurants. Property was very comfortable with small yard and well equipped kitchen. Six of us including two children were well accommodated.

I am writing as honest a review as I can to reflect our experience. The property owner was a nice person and very responsive when we needed help. Having said that, there were a number of glitches on arrival that were distressing, especially since our flight landed at 6:50 am and weren't checking in til 4, so our family (with 3 kids) was exhausted and anxious to get settled. Among the problems was a bedroom not made up and no access to the linen closet; my grand daughter was crying because she wouldn't have a place to sleep! We hadn't been given any information about wifi, so since my international feature on my phone wasn't working, we had to find to an internet cafe to contact the owner. She did give us access to the linen closet so that we could get sheets to make up the chair/single bed ourselves. We were given 1 towel per person for 6 nights, and no instruction as to how to work the water extraction dryer (unfamiliar to us.) The property itself is average, not "elegant" as the listing states and not at all what we thought it would be for the price we paid. There numerous spots with peeling paint and it is a lower level flat, bedrooms in the basement. Islington is a nice area, but not a "perfect location close to everything" as stated. The owner did check back with us the day we left and offer a small refund for our inconvenience. I almost never write negative reviews, but, sad to say, our experience with this property was not at all what we hoped or expected.
