Amy’s flat was really personal, relaxing and charming - absolutely full of lovely plants, it lived up to its tropical title. We particularly liked chilling in the hanging chairs, (inside and outside!) and the bed was super comfy. The kitchen was super clean, new and really well equipped - we had smoothies and coffee outside in the sunshine each morning.
We arrived by Eurostar and could walk to the flat in around 10 minutes or so along the lovely canal, it was so easy. I had a weekend course at St Martins College of Fashion and the flat was also really convenient for that - again about 5 minutes walk or so along the canal. We checked out the local pubs that Amy had recommended and they were the perfect typical London pubs - really good food, we’d recommend the delicious Roast Dinner at The Albion!
I would say that this flat is a real taste of London as it is on an estate full of real Londoners, and is a real surprise retreat from the buzz of Kings Cross. So much better than a hotel. We hope to be back and stay again.
