We had a great stay and loved the neighborhood. There are tons of nice restaurants and pubs right near the flat so you don't have to go far for a nice meal. The place is very close to the Farringdon metro stop and about a 20 minute walk to Kings Cross - some lines at Farringdon were closed on the weekends while we were there, otherwise Kings Cross is just one stop away on one of the lines that runs from Farringdon. There are quite a lot of stairs to get up to the apartment and no lift so keep that in mind if you aren't great with stairs.
