We enjoyed being so close to Kings Cross - it is a straight forward walk along Caledonian Road - about 10 minutes...and we coped well with our two big suitcases. The house itself is behind security gates. Check in was easy and thorough. We stayed in the music room on the ground floor - we had our own bathroom, and although the recess is quite small, the shower is great! The room was chockablock full of musical instruments, mostly stored on special racks attached to the ceiling. However, there was still adequate room for us and our suitcases. It also has a TV and good WiFi. The adjacent kitchen is a shared space...we didn’t need to use it...but it was light and airy and had another TV.
