About this property

Cool 2-bed penthouse, with a 40 sqm terrace, stunning views on the city

Life in the City - your home away from home in Central London!

A cool top floor penthouse apartment offering 110 sqm of living space, including a 40 sqm decked terrace overlooking the financial city. You'll be in the heart of the city - the buzz (and delicious food) of the market street below by day, the quiet you need to rest by night.

The penthouse is a newly built conversion on top of what used to be a pub-house (turned into a cool and lively cafe) and is great both for business visitors to London (walking distance to the City, 2 stops from Kings Cross), as well as tourists (a 10 min walk to St. Paul's and from there take the tube to Oxford street or cross the river over to the Tate Modern for example).

The 40 sqm decked terrace of the flat with expansive views on the City is what makes this place special and is a great end of day destination and a nice brunch/lunch spot any time of the week (London weather permitting).

The master bedroom has a king-size bed, the smaller bedroom has a reclining sofa, that can sleep two. The bathroom has a bathtub as well as a separate shower.

Fully equipped kitchen, including a blender (great for smoothies any time of day), juice press (to satisfy your thirst for fresh orange juice) and a Nespresso coffee machine to help you wake up in the morning. A large oven and stove as well as a microwave, for those who feel the need to cook at home, although there are a bunch of great places at your doorstep (Turkish, sushi, Vegan, Thai, Indian, Italian, Ramen noodles and more).

For groceries, Waitrose supermarket is just down the street.

Please note, the penthouse is situated on the top (3rd) floor of an old pub house conversion. As such, there is no lift in the building, not recommended for guests who may have mobility problems. The flip side of the walk up the stairs are the sweeping views of the city from the large outdoor space of the terrace.

Walking distance to St. Paul's cathedral, Tate Modern, Tower bridge, etc. Close to 3 metro stops/5 metro lines: Barbican, Old Street and St. Paul's.

Open market on Whitecross is fun and delicious!

Who loves it: business travellers; solo travellers; families with kids; couples or friends visiting London for the weekend;

At your doorstep: the Barbican; Guildhall school of music; Smithfields; Shoreditch; Kingscross St Pancrass; Sandlers Wells; Bank of England;

New Year's visit to London
Stayed here for 3 nights over NYE. This was our first trip to London. Great location -- quiet street, coffee shop next door, restaurants and market close by, short walk to Liverpool Station. Host was very accommodating and great communicator. Comfy beds and plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 teens. Terrace was great.

Wonderful trip
Melina’s property was perfect for us. It had all the amenities we needed, and more. The neighborhood is fun with several pubs and restaurants within a short walking distance. The street market was a special treat during the week. We’d choose a vendor then take it up to the rooftop deck. We were lucky and had good weather almost every day. Melina was extremely helpful and gave us some great recommendations

5-Stars all around
Fabulous location - close to so many things and short walks to 3 different tube stations for connections all over (including both Gatwick and Heathrow). Excellent host - rapid responses to our questions and maximum flexibility for our particular travel itinerary. Place was well equipped, quiet, surrounded by eating places and practically across the road from a grocery store. Lovely rooftop terrace which we determinedly made use of, even though it was November - would love to be here again in the summer. Won’t hesitate to try and stay here again when we come back.

Nice to have outdoor space
This is nice space, the owners have outfitted it thoughtfully by anticipating what travelers might need. The owner was very responsive. The check-in protocol is a little clunky, with a key hidden outside. We were glad that we had a driver to help us get into the building and up the stairs when we arrived at midnight.

Great week in London
This flat was perfect for visiting all of London. The tube stops were easy to walk to and got you easily to every area of London. We grabbed coffee at the downstairs coffee shop each morning on our way out and grabbed dinner and drinks all within walking distance. A grocery store was also close. The weather was unseasonably sunny and warm the week we were there and we used the outside space for drinks and meals. I highly recommend this flat.
