This is unquestionably the nicest apartment I have ever stayed in, and undoubtedly one of the nicest airbnbs in London. From the dramatic 20+ foot ceilings, to the concrete walls and polished white floors, to the luxurious bed overlooking the living room, to the amazing scenic views of the city from the 20+ foot floor-to-ceiling windows, not to mention the OTHER scenic views of a canal down below from the private deck accessed by a glass door built into those massive glass windows.... I can't imagine a much better place to stay in London. Waking up every day to that view was an absolute treat. The building itself is amazing, the stairwell alone looks like something from an Art Museum. The neighbors were quite friendly, and one of them remarked that this home is the best in the building (in a building full of amazing apartments).
Location is nice - nestled between two prime tube stations (angel and old street) but set a bit back off the main stretch, so you don't have the craziness of City Road right outside. Instead you get an amazing canal on one side, and a scenic park on the other! Easily walkable to either tube stop in 10-15 mins, to a popular bus stop in 5, or grab a city bike a block from the apartment and be anywhere in a few minutes.
Claudia and Andreas were both very helpful, accommodating my uncertain arrival time with ease. The house is spotless but you can tell it's actually someone's home, hence the inclusion of certain crucial minor details that some soley abnb-focused homes don't include (stuff like shower soap racks etc), as well as some nice treats left! (bread for breakfast etc),
Price is quite reasonable given the incredible space you're staying in, I wish I could afford to stay there for a lengthy trip, but even just a few days felt like an amazing retreat. Wheras most places I stay on vacation end up feeling like a bit of a downgrade from my own home, I genuinely felt a bit sad leaving here, knowing I wouldn't wake up to those dramatic views or get to sit on the little balcony with a coffee in the evening overlooking the canal.
10 stars out of 5, would love to stay there again!!
