Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to 1 Bedroom apartment Kentish town on Islip Street, you immediately get that cozy residential vibe that makes this four-star place feel more like staying at a friend’s flat than a typical hotel. The building blends right into the Camden streetscape — which is honestly perfect if you want to experience London like a local rather than feeling like you’re stuck in tourist central.
The Space
The apartment itself is surprisingly spacious for London standards, and I mean that in the best way possible. You’ve got a proper bedroom that actually fits more than just a bed, plus a separate living area where you can spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. The kitchen is compact but functional — you know, the kind where you can actually make breakfast or heat up leftovers from Borough Market without cursing the lack of counter space.
Location & Neighborhood
Kentish Town gets overlooked by most tourists, but that’s exactly why it works so well. You’re about a 10-minute walk to Camden Market when you want the chaos, but you can retreat to this quieter pocket when you need to decompress. The Kentish Town tube station is close enough that getting into central London doesn’t feel like a mission, and there’s this great little stretch of pubs and cafes along Kentish Town Road that locals actually frequent.
Practical Bits
What I really appreciated was having a proper washing machine — honestly, after a few days of walking around London, being able to do laundry without hunting down a laundrette is worth its weight in gold. The Wi-Fi actually works well (I was working remotely for part of my stay), and the heating keeps things comfortable even when it’s properly cold outside. There’s no parking included, but let’s be real — you don’t need a car in this part of London anyway.
Why Guests Love It
This place hits that sweet spot between having your own space and being connected to the city. You get the independence of an apartment with hotel-level cleanliness and organization. The 8.7 rating makes sense when you consider that you’re getting genuine London living without the premium price tag of staying in Covent Garden or Shoreditch. It’s the kind of spot where you can grab groceries from the local Tesco, cook dinner while planning tomorrow’s adventures, and actually feel like you’re experiencing London rather than just visiting it.

"Home Away From Home"
The apartment was very clean and felt like home away from home. Extremely convenient to underground and shops. Overall everything was really good and great value for money. We would definitely stay here again.
What could be improved: It got extremely hot but we couldn't seem to adjust the radiators or wall thermostat.
The shower could do with a non slip mat or stickers.
A full length mirror would also be helpful.

"Perfect location, very clean!"
I loved the location of this appartment so much! You step out and you’re in the city.
It was overall such a good appartment and would defenitely go here again and reccommend to other people!
The appartment was also very clean, it was cleaner than a hotel we went to.
The staff was very kind and you could always reach them when you need them.
What could be improved: The bed was a bit small for 2 people (friends) and moved a lot if 1 person just coughed.

"Highly recommended"
The apartment is very spacious and clean and feels homey and safe. You have all what you need just around the corner like supermarkets, any kind of shop really, places for breakfast, lunch, dinner and pubs. You have the underground, overground and a trainstation nearby, which is absolutely fabulous. Without a doubt would I choose this apartment again.

"Great visit would stay again"
Excellent location . The flat had everything you would need for a short stay
What could be improved: The bed is a small double so not suitable for two adults who aren’t a couple! Luckily there is a bed settee so that is very useful.
