NEIGHBOURHOOD
Caledonian Road, 12min walk from Kings Cross, contains lots of small shops and retailers with some new health food shops and convenience stores, chemists and supermarkets very close by.

We are near to the Regents canal which is a short scenic walk to the newly developed Granary Square which houses the largest US tech companies and Central St Martins art college along with shops and restaurants around a fantastic public space with fountains. Further along the canal is uCamden and a Regents Park.

To the north are the historic london parks and architectural squares of Barnsbury with some traditional pubs on the walk towards Upper Street or Angel.

There is plenty of public transport available including the overground which will take you east/west to Hampstead or Hackney. Kings Cross is a major interchange for tube lines and St Pancras has trains to the rest of the Uk or even the Eurostar to Europe.

There is no residents car parking at the property but taxis can drop off and parking meters can be used for stays of up to 2hrs.

NO CHILDREN
Due to open riser stairs and several level changes the space is not suitable for toddlers or young children.

Pied a terre near Kings Cross
A good base for exploring London. Near the Regents Canal and its towpath. Close to Kings Cross and Euston Station as well as amenities.

London designed
With a late arrival our host was there to give us a tour of everything before we settle down. This place is very efficiently and cleverly designed to accommodate two people who travel and we’re in and out every single day. It’s right on the bus line and the adjacent neighborhood is very pleasant. We enjoyed our stay there.

Well-thought out space
This is a great pied-a-terre that is just a quick walk along the canal to King’s Cross and Granary Square; closer at hand are a number of Ethiopian restaurants, shops and a nice coffee bar across the street.I really appreciated how well the flat was fitted out. Everything is well-designed so you have what you need close to hand and it stores away invisibly. There are thoughtful touches like a heated floor in the bedroom, good lighting everywhere, laundry facilities tucked away in the bathroom, great hot water. The multi-level design and invisible cupboards make it feel bigger than it is. The only thing to know is that there is no view. A large skylight over the stairs lights up the top-level study, and the entry level has a glass-frontage on the street (like a shop window) covered by a canvas blind for privacy; the rest of the flat is below-grade. This is evident from photos and did not bother me. I would certainly stay here again — the location is great, everything is there, and I also appreciated having a good workspace.

Well equipped unit in a great location
My stay was really great. The owner met me and gave me a quick tour to explain how everything works and then left me to it. The location is really great for getting out around London. Just a few minutes walk to the underground at Kings Cross and lots of restaurants and shops along that road. There is a convenience store directly across the street and a bus that heads straight to Borough Market (a highly recommended destination!). The upstairs space in the unit was great for doing a little remote work or chatting with visitors without being down in the living/sleeping space. Having the full kitchen, dishwasher, etc meant that any leftovers from restaurants would not go to waste.

Great space in a central location
We had a great stay. The space was perfect for a couple. The kitchenette had basic appliances, a sizable fridge and freezer, and ample glassware, dishware and utensils. It was stocked with tea, coffee, and spices. The bed was comfortable and there was a large screen smart-TV with easy to use apps. A highlight was the electric shower with good water pressure and temperature controls. It was a short walk from the Kings Cross station and the Coal Drops center with many restaurants, shops and fun outdoor space. The owner greeted us upon arrival, provided local recommendations, and was responsive to questions before and during the stay. He was flexible about the time of both our check-in and check-out. All in all, the space was comfortable and provided a very nice stay in London.

Tomasさんはとても親切で私たちが到着を1時間遅れても待っていてくださって、丁寧に部屋の説明をしてくれました。また寒いと言えば、すぐにヒーターを用意してくださり、遠隔で暖房を調節してくださり、私たちが快適に過ごせるように配慮してくれました。 目の前のバス停は、キングスクロスを経由してどこでもアクセスでき、ものすごく便利です。ロンドンのホテルが高騰する中でこうしたキッチン付きの物件で過ごすのは、お勧めです。食事も近くのスーパーで色々購入して栄養バランスの良い食事ができると旅の疲れも取れますので。
