Overview

First Impressions

You know what caught me off guard about 2Bedroom 2Bathroom Large Modern Apartment with Balcony at King’s Cross? It’s actually in Islington, not King’s Cross proper — but honestly, that works in your favor. The building sits on Bemerton Street, which is this quiet residential stretch that feels worlds away from the tourist chaos, yet you’re still close enough to everything that matters.

The Space

This three-star apartment really delivers on the “large” promise in its name. The two bedrooms are genuinely spacious — I mean, you can actually walk around the bed without doing that awkward sideways shuffle you get in most London places. The modern setup isn’t just marketing speak either; everything feels recently updated, from the sleek bathroom fixtures to the open-plan living area that doesn’t make you feel cramped.

The Balcony Situation

Here’s the thing about that balcony — it’s not huge, but it’s perfectly sized for morning coffee or an evening drink. You get decent views over the neighborhood rooftops, and there’s something oddly satisfying about having your own little outdoor space in London. The furniture out there is simple but comfortable, and you’ll probably find yourself using it more than you’d expect.

Location & Getting Around

King’s Cross Station is about a 12-minute walk, which sounds far until you realize you’re avoiding all the noise and foot traffic around the station itself. The neighborhood has this authentic London residential feel — tree-lined streets, local pubs that aren’t touristy, and actual grocery shops where locals do their weekly shopping. Angel tube station is also walkable, giving you options for getting around the city.

Why Guests Love It

The real win here is space and value. You’re getting two proper bedrooms and bathrooms, which is rare in London without paying premium prices. The kitchen is fully equipped — not just a kettle and mini-fridge situation — so you can actually cook if you want to save money or just prefer eating in. Plus, having multiple bathrooms means you’re not queuing for showers in the morning, which anyone who’s shared London accommodation will appreciate.

"Very Clean but the Hosting Company Wasn’t Great with Issues"
The place was very clean and matched the photos exactly.
What could be improved: The entire reason we booked this one was to have two showers. One didn’t work and the host kept messaging me that they were sending someone to fix it every single day but didn’t for the whole stay.

"Great location flat needs some attention"
The location was great, having 2 bathrooms was really handy, the space in the flat was nice and it was great having the balcony
What could be improved: We stayed in the bedroom with the ensuite and it was so hot because of the boiler in the cupboard. I know its a big expensive job but I think you really need to look into options of getting rid of it and put another system in. I would not recommend staying in that room in the summer. We had the window open fully all night and both fans going which were pretty rubbish and it was still far too hot. The blinds in both bedrooms would not go up and there are areas where the flat is looking a bit tired just needs a lick of paint. in the ensuite where the frame for the shower meets the wall the paint is peeling so it must be getting wet somehow. The question below about the property meeting our expectations I have said no purely on the heat in the bedroom my wife had to sleep in the living room on the sofa which wasn't the most comfortable.

"VERY DISAPPOINTING"
Although the location is good, the apartment itself is not. Starting with the building, the elevator ALWAYS smelled bad and was super dirty (e.g., squished avocados on the floor). The hallways smelled like pee, especially the 3rd floor where we were staying. Now, the inside of the apartment was also disappointing to us. When we arrived, we found a toiletry bag sitting in the hallway with personal belongings (not sure who it was for). The washing machine was dirty when we opened it and not properly working (i.e., you’d have to turn it on, wait for 15 mins and see if the clothes were moving. If not, you’ll have to redo everything again, including adding the soap that you just wasted in the previous wash). The living room was a disaster. We found stains on both couches, questioning how we were even going to sleep on one of them. And then when we checked the sheets that were provided, we found red stains on it, not sure if it was blood or something else, but that is disgusting. There was also a pantyliner sticker hanging on the wall in one of the rooms which was odd. Our stay overall was truly disappointing and I will never be staying here again.

"Bra komfort i lugnt område med nära till restauranger och kanalen"
Lägenheten låg bra i ett, som vi upplevde det, lugnt område. Många fina och bra restauranger i närområdet. Charmigt med kanalen. Det tog ca 10 min att gå till Kings Cross station och även till St Pancras International som låg bara 4 stopp från Gatwick flygplats.
What could be improved: Vi anlände kl 19 till ostädad lägenhet med handdukar på golvet i badrum, varor i kylen och använda lakan. Det var ganska jobbigt efter en lång resdag. Värden löste detta så snabbt han förmådde samma kväll iallafall, så det är vi tacksamma för. Vi kan absolut tänka oss att återkomma!
