Clive was a great host and his place was nice! Overall great experience. Kitchen was well stocked, bed was very comfortable, location was great for being near Kings Cross and different train stations. Overall, good times! The place felt like it might have been cleaned in a rush but we did book it the day before so that is understandable. Check in was very easy when we received the instructions but those came a bit late.

Clive's place is the perfect flat to spend a long weekend or longer in London. Located close to St. Pancras and Kings Cross as well as just around the corner of a lively area, it has go everything you need for a short stay. Communication with Clive was easy and fast. I'll be looking out for this place when I stay in London again.

Had a great week’s stay here - very detailed instructions for entry and the space itself is great value for the price. Very comfy bed! Nicely located too, with a short walk or cycle to King’s Cross and into central London.

We stayed a Clive’s house for the weekend. Easy to find, clear instructions, as seen in the photos. Happy Clive provided us two sets of keys - which was helpful! We were two friends sharing the apartment so we used both the bedroom and the sofa bed which was perfect. We reccomend!

Clive was a fantastic host! He was responsive, and made us feel welcome in his place. The neighborhood was the perfect spot for our London trip. Islington felt safe, and had a neighborhood feel while also offering a lot of options for restaurants and entertainment. Getting to central london was easy with the bus stop close by and e-bikes easily accessible in the area. Would highly recommend staying here.
