About this property

Simple and Affordable Short-Term London Accommodation

The flat with secure private entrance is on the ground floor of a 1880's Victorian terrace typical of the Archway/Upper Holloway area of North London. There is free WiFi available 24-7, but there is no television.
The flat consists of 3 rooms--a sitting room, a bedroom and a kitchen plus a bathroom. There is private access to the back garden through two sets of terrace doors. The sitting room contains two easy chairs and a sofa with a pull out hide-away bed. The bedroom contains a double bed, bedside table and a wardrobe with terrace doors that access the rear garden. Linens--towels, sheets and duvet covers--are provided. The fully-furnished kitchen includes a table with seating for 4 persons, a cooker, oven, microwave, refrigerator and washing machine. The bathroom, though small, has a toilet, sink, heated towel bar and a shower. The rear terrace doors of the kitchen also provide access to the rear garden available for your use.
The flat is ideal for a single person, a couple or three people using the hide-away bed. A visiting business person or scholar would find this accommodation an improvement over a standard London hotel room. The flat is non-smoking and we do not take pets. Gas central heat, controllable from within the flat, is available during the cold months.
The Living Room has 2 easy chairs and a Victorian-style fireplace. A couch is on the opposite wall. It turns into a pull-out bed. The bedroom with double bed adjoins the sitting area. Linens--sheets, duvet covers, bath towels and kitchen towels--are provided with the rental.
The galley kitchen has a cooker and sink. At the far end of the kitchen are the terrace doors leading to the private garden for your use. The kitchen equipment includes a refrigerator, gas hob, kettle and microwave and washing machine. The kitchen table area includes 4 chairs. Plates, mugs, bowls, glasses, pots and pans are provided.
Though small, the bathroom has a shower, toilet, sink-on-cabinet, mirrored top cabinet and heated towel bar. It is tiled on the floor in grey slate. The walls are tiled in white. There is a shower, but no baththub.
The bedroom terrace doors lead to the garden area. There is raised terrace with the garden shed at the end. A hydrangea bush dominates the right side of the garden. Just outside the terrace doors there is room for a table and chairs, provided with the rental.
This fully-furnished recently renovated studio/one bedroom flat with the essential amenities has good transport for reaching Central London swiftly. Buses from Archway are plentiful. The Northern Line tube is nearby, making access to St. Pancras/Kings Cross and the Eurostar reasonably convenient. Upper Holloway Station on the London Overground network is also convenient.

Islington Visit

The property is very much as described by the owner Cordelia. It has been extensively remodeled and is fresh and clean with a modern kitchen and bathroom. It was perfect for a three day stay with local shops only 5 minutes away and Archway Underground station on the Northern line a brisk 10 minute walk. Flat was well prepared for guests and Cordelia was very accommodating in allowing me to check in early as I arrived from the States. Internet connection was good but no TV which wasn’t a problem for me. Sofa bed was new and surprisingly comfortable. Decor is minimal but wasn’t a problem for me either. I’d stay again if I was visiting this area.

Appartamento completo

L'appartamento è accessoriato di tutto, soprattutto per la cucina. Gli asciugamani da bagno erano uno a testa e grazie alla presenza di una lavatrice e del relativo detersivo abbiamo potuto lavarli facilmente. In prossimità dell'Overground (3 minuti a piedi) e della Northern line (Archway a 5 minuti),ma anche di fermate di bus. Disponibilità di vari supermercati, bars e ristoranti/pizzerie nei paraggi. Ampia cortesia della sig.ra Cordelia che ci ha illustrato il funzionamento degli elettrodomestici, riscaldamento, ecc. L'appartamento beneficia di un piccolo giardino dove poter prendere in po' di sole.

Perfect for London

Cordelia's place was great for staying in London. Lots of restaurants and shops and a less than 10 minute walk to the tube. Very clean and a perfect size for our family.

Very friendly and lovely place to stay

Die Wohnung ist sehr gemütlich und bequem eingerichtet, es ist alles da was man braucht. Ruhig gelegen und trotzdem ganz nah an die Öffentliche Verkehr, Läden und einige nette Restaurants. Mit der U-Bahn oder Büssen ist man in ca. 30 min im Zentrum. Vielen Dank an die Gastgeberin, Cordelia, für den tollen Empfang und die Hilfsbereitschaft. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Tout était parfait!

Nous sommes arrivées à l’appartement beaucoup plus tôt que l’heure prévue du Check-in mais nous n’avons rencontré aucun problème avec ça car Cordelia était déjà là pour nous accueillir. Elle nous a fait faire le tour du propriétaire avec les explications requises. Sa résidence est située à quelques minutes de marche de la station de métro Archway, ce qui était très facilitant. L’appartement est très fonctionnelle et idéale pour une ou deux personnes. Cordelia est très accueillante et prête à nous diriger et nous aider à tout moment! Même la température était de notre côté! En bref, un très beau séjour!

Very comfortable

Cordelia's place was very comfortable, clean and convenient to the Metro and shops. The neighborhood was nice and felt very safe. The kitchen was lovely and large. Nice small bathroom. Cordelia was very nice and very helpful. Stokes restaurant at the end of the street was very good and reasonable. Had a English breakfast which I enjoyed. Easy to get into London on the Metro. Good place to stay.

Comfortable, conveniently located, and good value for money

This comfortable flat is conveniently located near the Archway tube station and Upper Holloway rail station. It's a studio flat, perfect for a solo traveler or couple. It is comfortably furnished, the kitchen is well appointed (full-size fridge), and the wi-fi is good. There are shops, groceries, and restaurants nearby. We were there in hot weather, but the flat is well ventilated and stayed cool. There is a train-track nearby (behind the back garden), but we were not troubled by train noise at night. The owner lives upstairs and was very helpful and accommodating. When we next visit London, we will try to book this place again! Recommended.

Cosy Apartment

We had a great time staying in the apartment. Very nice and clean accommodation, comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen. Stations for the Underground, Overground and busses are nearby. Cordelia was a kind and very helpful host and gave us tips about what to do in the area. We will definitely stay there again the next time we are in London!

Nice flat, in a good location -Excellent value !

I was visiting the Holloway area for a week on family business so the flat was very convenient for me. The flat is comfortable, clean and well equipped. The kitchen is especially nice. The flat is only about 10 minutes walk from Archway where there is a Northern line tube station and many buses to take you into the centre of London. This trip taught me that renting a nice place like this one is much better than staying in a hotel and is overall less expensive. Cordelia is a very nice person to deal with.
