Amy's flat is a real gem and we were so happy and grateful that she let us stay there. It is obvious that she lives there herself: a huge amount of care has been taken in choosing the decor and we have never been this positively surprised by anyone's interior decorating skills ever! Wauv! The garden at the back, too, is a truly lovely place to sit in for breakfast and/or dinner, and if you get up early in the morning and enjoy the sunlight streaming into the beautiful kitchen, as I did, you might see foxes running around in the green area at the front (there are also squirrels, but I think they stay away when the foxes are out). The bed is fine and the area is nice and quiet at night.
We also really enjoyed the surrounding area - the flat lies a short walk along the lovely canal from Granary Square, where there is a really nice supermarket (Waitroses) and most days also a market where vendors sell good-quality handcrafted things (both edible and not). We used some of Amy's many (thank you!) local tips and particularly enjoyed our meal at the local pub The Crown + a meal at an Indian place only a short walk away from the flat in the direction of Angel. My son went for a run along the canal one morning, as do many of the locals - all the way to the Zoo at Regents Park and back, and enjoyed it very much.
The flat lies about fifteen minutes walk from Kings Cross station (and St. Pancras International, which is great if you come by Eurostar as we did). There are also buses running a couple of minutes' walk from the flat.
Amy has been very quick, extremely kind and super-helpful in her communication throughout - and had even left us juice, eggs, butter and toast in the fridge! Thanks for that also!
We would definitely love to stay at Amys flat again when visiting London!
