About this apartment rental
Nicely designed third floor apartment with high ceilings, located in a beautiful former 1800's Bank Building from the Victorian era, overlooking a park and the historical Smithfield Market. The apartment has a bright living room with lots of light, a kitchen area, a double bedroom and a bathroom with shower.
.
The location also has the fantastic fine dining and cafe culture of Smithfield and Clerkenwell on its doorstep with traditional pubs, Michelin-starred restaurants, many cafes and great options for family or late night dining. It is a perfect location for enjoying London, with all the famous landmarks very nearby. Museum of London and the original Roman city walls are 4 minutes walk away, St. Pauls Cathedral just 600 meters. A short walk further brings you across the Millennium footbridge over the Thames to the Tate Modern Museum and attractions near London Bridge and Tower Bridge.
There is a double bed in the bedroom, and in the living room there is a double bed too. Both rooms are private and can be closed off completely. The bathroom in the apartment is accessible separately from both spaces.
For transport, just a short walk to both Barbican (180 m) and Farringdon Underground Stations (3 min) with the new Elizabeth Line and has direct links to Luton, Gatwick, Stansted and Heathrow airports.
Culture and Attractions: You will enjoy the many cultural attractions nearby, including Barbican Center for Theatre, Art and Dance - Europe's largest multi-arts venue and home to the London Symphony Orchestra is a 3 minute walk (300 meters); British Museum, Portrait Gallery, and many other venues within minutes. The location is ideal for quick access to the trendy Hoxton and Shoreditch areas.

Overall, we had a good stay here. The location is right next to two tube locations, and the Elizabeth line goes straight to the airport. Not too far from the downtown core. Two negatives are the pubs downstairs that can get extremely loud until 11pm, and the amount of mosquitoes in the unit.

We loved our stay here! Check-in was simple and the flat was comfortable and well-supplied. The neighborhood is great, with lots of excellent restaurants and pubs nearby, and it's an easy walking distance to two underground lines.Our host Rolf quickly responded to a few questions we had (British appliances are different than American ones!) and made some excellent suggestions about where to go and how to get there. But I especially want to note his kindness to us when our flight home was cancelled four hours before departure. He allowed us to stay past our check-out time so that we could make plans. He would even have let us stay an extra night had we wanted, even though he had been planning to use the flat that night. We truly appreciated his flexibility and helpfulness - they went a long way in easing a stressful situation!I recommend Rolf's flat without any reservations. You couldn't ask for a better place to stay in London!

A Wonderful Stay Everything about the property matched the host’s description perfectly. The booking process was seamless, and the host remained responsive and helpful throughout our stay, always ready to assist when needed.The location was exceptional—just a short walk to a major transport hub that made getting around the city effortless. It was also within walking distance of St Paul's Cathedral, surrounded by cozy pubs, a variety of restaurants, and conveniently located near grocery stores and pharmacies.It truly felt like a home away from home—comfortable, well-situated, and welcoming in every way.

Loved the location. 6 min walk to subway station with connections to all 3 airports and rest of the city. Many cafes and Pubs nearby including one open 24hrs within 2 min walk. Very safe. Lift is a big plus! Great stay for us.
