It's a stroll to Kings Cross and St Pancras. Although some might find it too far, I enjoyed the walk. I flew into Gatwick airport, so it was very easy (and inexpensive) to use the Thameslink train service from Gatwick to St Pancras.
From the apartment, it is also easy to get to a nearby canal, which is a great place to go for a run.
It was a quiet location. I felt safe on the surrounding streets at night. The apartment itself is perfectly serviceable. Don't expect five star accommodation, but it is very clean and neat. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
Thank you to Angelo and Maria for your hospitality.
