Just a few minutes walk from the Kings Cross station, this is a room in which you can find respite from the busy London streets. There are coffee shops, restaurants, museums, and a grocery store all within convenient minutes’ walking distance. After a long day of travel or sightseeing, the apartment is a welcoming, quiet place to rest. The bed is extremely comfortable, the shared bathroom very clean with plenty of hot water, and in the back there is gorgeous private garden which Mike (a horticulturalist) has planted and tended himself. The two beautiful cats can, but don’t have to be part of your experience there. The floors are clean, no fur anywhere, so even in the case of someone with a mild cat allergy like myself, you needn’t hesitate to book this place.
The host , Mike, is a wonderful person. Hearing that I love coffee, he made sure to brew a full French press pot every morning! He is a friendly, unassuming, yet very intelligent and kind person who has done many wonderful things in his lifetime (and he will accomplish more). He will make you feel comfortable, and leave you space if you want, but is always available to answer questions/ give suggestions for London sightseeing, shopping, travel, museums etc. I can’t recommend this place highly enough if you are travelling alone and wish to have a good value in a safe neighborhood with a considerate and honest host. Thank you again, Mike, for your hospitality! It was great to meet you!
