8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2025
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!

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.

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!
