Philippe's loft on Regent's Canal is a spectacular place to say. If you haven't been along Regent's Canal before it is something that you should see. It's lined with houseboats with a few quaint bars and restaurants, and unlike most areas of London that you're more familiar with. It's on a dead end street and so it's very quiet, not much traffic at all and there is gated parking in case you're driving in. It's also just a stones throw from Islington which is overloaded with amazing bars and restaurants. And as far as the loft goes everything is new and high tech. Big beds in each room, bathrooms are all modern and there's a gorgeous roofdeck with an enclosed "green house" like bedroom. If you can, I high suggest giving Philippe's loft a try.
