Paul was an excellent host.

Great communication in advance of our visit. We met at his flat at a designated time; the place was very clean, large by any standard, modern, with taste - it is stunning. He left us two sets of keys, reviewed all the essentials and left a notebook with guide to the flat, the neighborhood, restaurants, etc.

This is simply a marvelously place in London. My wife and I are both architects, sometimes living in Europe and we travel frequently. I wish I could always take this flat with me. It is a large converted artist’s studio with great space and good attention to detail. It is easy to cook and entertain – and there is just lots of space. The two bedrooms are legitimate and there is good storage. Despite its vibrant location, the flat is very quiet looking at the interior of the block.

For our purposes, the location is ideal, half way between King’s Cross Station and Granary Square. A short walk to King’s Cross connects you with the tube or train to anywhere. There is good food shopping – both basic and upscale in the neighborhood – and a couple of fitness centers that allow daily or weekly passes.

Granary Square is a new hot spot in London – with the School of the Arts, restaurants, renovations, new buildings, new construction. The Square is just above the canal, which provides an extensive walk/run/bike path that allows you to see a very different London.

All good.
