Helen was the nicest host ever; she kept in touch the whole time we were staying at her flat, constantly inquiring if we needed anything and was very prompt with replies. She got us flowers and chocolate and also recommended things to do. The flat was full of character, in a great neighbourhood, and in a fantastic location. Things were slightly old, but that's what gave the flat its character. The location alone is the reason to choose this place, as Kings Cross station literally links to almost everything you could want to do in London, has direct access to Heathrow, no changing of train needed, and also gives you easy access to the rest of UK or the rest of Europe; its great to not have to take more transport when you are leaving but just wheel your luggage to the station! The bed and wardrobe are small and the bedroom has barely any space to turn, but Helen is upfront about that, and the flat looks slightly bigger in the photos than in reality. The shower is also slightly difficult to maneuver. But these didnt detract from the positive aspects much; the flat was very cozy for 2. If you like ultra-modern, wide open spaces then may reconsider. If not, this is a great place to stay.
