    What I didn't particularly like was the "No Wearing Shoes in the Room" rule. For safety reasons, I keep my shoes in the room, which might lead to misunderstandings with other flatmates who see me wearing them into the room. I have a few humble suggestions for the owner: 1. Provide two shoe racks, one empty rack for guests to store their outdoor shoes and another with indoor slippers for guests to use within the apartment; OR 2. Create a small designated space outside the room, approximately the size of three floor tiles, where guests can leave their outdoor shoes before entering the room and switching to indoor slippers stored in the wardrobe; OR 3. Offer a small door mat for placing outdoor shoes and ensure indoor slippers are provided for use inside the room.

    What I appreciated most were the peaceful environment and the clean facilities. The bed was incredibly soft, when I first sat on it, it felt like sinking into a cloud. However, it turned out to be extremely comfortable, and I had one of the best nights of sleep I've ever had. The instructions for collecting the room keys and finding the accommodation were clear and easy to follow. Google Maps was particularly helpful in locating the key collection point and the accommodation itself. The location is very convenient, being close to King's Cross Station and well-connected by bus. It’s also within easy reach of restaurants, convenience stores like Co-op and Tesco Express, and popular tourist destinations. All in all, I highly recommend this beautiful accommodation at central London, by the way, you will be fine if you plan well!

    Its a shared apartment so you are there with strangers. The common area is the kitchen. We got back at 11.30pm on a Saturday and were talking in the kitchen and a man came out from behind a plastic wall asking us to stop talking, which we did. Just something to consider.

    Location great. Room lovely.

    It was kind of hard to get into the house, and finding the location to pick up the keys.

    The room was clean and tidy, the surrounding area was also nice. It is not far from the tube station.

    The organisation and communication around getting the keys was late and a little frustrating. Otherwise all good.

    Very clean, organised, perfect for a short stay in central London between Old Street and Angel.

    The bed linen. When I peeled top layer, there are many small hairs inside on bed sheet, maybe it wasn’t cleaned properly… Except the linen, other part of facility was clean. Also the wall wasn’t so thick between rooms and living room for my room, with partition (with lock) so I heard other people in the room talking loudly in middle of night that woke me up.

    Property was just a few minutes from a bus stop, and around 10mins to King’s cross station so it was convenient. Have all basic necessities like electric kettle, cup, tea, coffee, cutlery, fridge etc. modern and clean apartment in a safe location.

    There was a group of chavs outside the building not so late night. I don't mind them, however, I would be concerned if I was a solo female traveler

    The location is fine. It's only a short 10 minute walk from Angel station. The place is spotless and very comfy. Setting the right temperature for the shower requires precise skills however once you figure it out it's spot on.

    If you are choosing the smallest room in the property you should know that one of its walls is like a foldable shirm which means that you'll be able to hear EVERYTHING. Plus getting in and out of the room was a little annoying. Our neighbors were respectful, so it was an issue on this occasion. The ventilation in the bathroom looked minging and definitely needs a change of filter or smth.

    The place was clean, instructions for access were clear and straightforward

    Possibly my mistake, however when I looked it appeared to be one whole apartment we were booking, however there are 3 different rooms within the apartment shared with other people. Luckily there was a bathroom within our room as I would not have liked sharing a bathroom with other random people. Additionally the curtain in the bedroom didn’t fully close so there was a whole window open for people to see in/light to come in. Additionally you collect your keys from an off license and the people in there were rude and hardly spoke! Was a very strange place to collect keys from

    The apartment was clean and the beds were very comfy. The location was good and the views were good.

    The air conditioning was really hot and we couldn’t turn it off (only the small one in the room). Although it is very nice to wake up and go to bed in a place so warm, please make the Earth a favour and keep the air conditioning a bit less hot :)

    The flat is really clean and the building is safe. It is not far away from bus and metro station. It is a good option for your stay in London.

    Would have liked the tea/coffee etc to be left on show as I felt uncomfortable going through the cupboards to look for them. The lock on the door to my room didn’t feel very secure.

    Great communication from the owner. Excellent shower. The complimentary basket of nibbles was a nice touch.

    MY ROOM WAS THE TV ROOM, NO LOCK ON DOOR/DIVIDER, ALSO A MINOR, DULL, CONTINUOUS DRONING SOUND COMING FROM THE AIRCOM IN MY (TV) ROOM. I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS KIND OF ROOM, BUT IF I HAD STUDIED THE PHOTO IMAGES, I MAY HAVE WORKED IT OUT? I DID OVER HEAR ONE OF THE OTHER GUESTS SAY 'IS THAT ANOTHER ROOM FOR US TO CHECK OUT', PERHAPS A LARGE, CLEAR SIGN STATING THAT THE TV ROOM IS SOMEBODIES BEDROOM?

    LOCATION IS EXCELLENT. BIG TV IN MY ROOM, ALTHOUGH I DID NOT USE IT, I MAY HAVE FOUND THIS A USEFUL DISTRACTION.
