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.

Upsetting and unsettling stay in this tiny flat. Felt a bit grimy, like it had a quick clean and turnaround. No where for cases, we were tripping over them. Entrance to flat is really awqward and small. Noises at night, worried about rodents. Found a rodent trap under the sofa bed. On complaining about this the host denied it! There was an electrical fault though the night also which kept us awake and we unplugged all appliances to ensure no wires would ignite. Host manager and owner not interested in delivering any customer care just a money making.

The apartment is in a great location, near to some great pubs and restaurants in Islington. The flat was very clean and Clive was very easy to communicate with. Unfortunately the bed was really uncomfortable, as the mattress and pillows were very poor quality. Okay for a short stay but could definitely be improved with some ease.

Very functional space, appreciated having an actual table. Shower stall is a bit cramped if you're tall.

We had a great stay at Clive's apartment. The apartment perfectly matches the description it is clean and bright, frequent buses nearby and the location close to King's Cross makes it easy to get around the different neighborhoods of London. Several supermarkets and restaurants / fast food restaurants are nearby. The neighborhood is rather quiet (we did not suffer any noise), of course it is an apartment in town so we hear the neighbors a little while traveling but were very discreet and our sleep was in no way disturbed! The apartment is also located near a small square (Saint Andrew) which is a plus. Special mention for the accuracy of check in information 👍 there may be only the bedding that deserves a little renewal but that's a detail;)

Lovely apartment -- very comfortable, clean, well-lit, a fully functional kitchen, nearby grocery markets, in a quiet neighborhood with a pretty children's park on the same block. Clive is an excellent host, vey available, responding immediately to questions, however trivial they may seem.

had a lovely stay here and found it to be a really well-thought out space to book. the bed and bedroom especially were so nice, hotel-feeling sheets and looking out to the quiet back garden. it was nice to hang out here too, super warm and though you can hear the neighbours come and go there was nothing obnoxious. the area is sweet and convenient to access east and central london.
