The host was easily contactable and very timely in her responses. Unfortunately the first couple of nights we had a few issues. The electricity in the house kept tripping, we couldn't get the heating working, the door was quite difficult to lock until you got the nack of it after a while and the Wi-Fi was basically unusable. Unfortunately when we arrived rubbish was scattered over the street, to no fault of the hosts more the councils issue than anything and when brought to the hosts attention she dealt with it in a timely fashion. For a basic rest your head stay it did the job but I wouldn't suggest for anyone wanting that wee bit extra. The apartment is only about 20 minutes walk from King's Cross but Caledonian Road Underground is only a 5 minute walk and there are plenty of buses.
