The tl;dr version: I had a magnificent time staying at Amy’s. You’ll love the place.
Due to the ongoing pandemic restrictions, my London home has been particularly busy as of late, so I was looking for somewhere near by to get away for a bit, relax, read and write. So I decided to stay at Amy’s for about a week.
As others have pointed out, even though Amy’s home is situated on one of the smaller estate buildings just 10mins
from the heart of King’s Cross, the area itself is quiet and clean. There are local dining and shopping options only a few minutes away. I particularly loved The Albion pub and also some of the restaurants on Angel high st (such as Pho and Kanada-Ya).
The garden is fantastic, and so is the sitting area out front. Ironically enough May 2021 turned out to be one of the wettest months on record, which meant that the garden turned into an almost real tropical forest (but there was still ample rain cover provided by a corner tree). On the days when I went out and got caught by the rain, I relaxed with a cosy bath or shower afterwards (the bathroom is lovely). But despite this minor set back with the rain, I was warm, comfortable and I very much enjoyed the peace and solitude.
Amy was also very kind enough to leave a well stocked fridge with bread, eggs, butter, and orange juice. There was also plenty coffee to go around. I’m grateful for this generosity, it made my mornings very comfortable. I enjoyed using the home speaker and generally found Amy’s home to have everything one might need during a stay.
I also got some good work done in the end. Overall I had a magnificent time and would recommend it. 5/5
