Overview

First Impressions

When I first spotted Fabulous Apartment in Superb location on Adolphus Road, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name — it sounds a bit cheeky, doesn’t it? But you know what, sometimes places that don’t take themselves too seriously end up being the most pleasant surprises. This three-star apartment sits quietly in Hackney, and while it’s not trying to be fancy, there’s something genuinely welcoming about the whole setup.

Location & Neighborhood

Hackney gets a bad rap from people who’ve never actually spent time here, but I mean, it’s one of those areas that’s really come into its own. You’re about a 15-minute walk from Finsbury Park station, which puts you on the Piccadilly line — that’s your direct route into central London without the usual Northern line madness. The street itself is residential and pretty calm, lined with those classic Victorian terraces that make you feel like you’re living in an actual neighborhood rather than just passing through.

The Space

The room setup here is what sold me on the place. It’s got that lived-in feeling without being worn out, if that makes sense — like someone actually thought about how you’d use the space day to day. The kitchen is small but functional, with everything you need if you want to grab groceries from the Tesco Express down the road and make breakfast instead of hunting for overpriced coffee every morning. There’s decent natural light coming through the windows, and honestly, after staying in some properly cramped London places, having room to actually unpack felt like a bit of a luxury.

Practical Details

Here’s what I appreciated — the WiFi actually works (you’d be surprised how often that’s not the case), and there’s parking available if you’re brave enough to drive in London. The hosts were pretty responsive when I had questions, though they’re not hovering around constantly, which I preferred. The whole building is quiet enough that you can actually sleep, even with the windows cracked open. One thing to note: it’s a proper apartment building, not a hotel, so don’t expect daily housekeeping or a front desk.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t the kind of place you’d bring your parents for their anniversary trip, but for what it is — a comfortable base in an increasingly interesting part of London — it really delivers. The price point makes sense for what you get, especially considering you’re still properly connected to everything you want to see. I’d honestly stay here again, particularly if I was planning to explore more of North London or just wanted somewhere that felt a bit more like staying in someone’s actual home rather than a generic hotel room.

Exploring London blends royal heritage, UNESCO landmarks, and vibrant neighborhoods glowing with golden-hour light.

"Excellent apart from the problem with the shower recess."
Location good, room size adequate for a single traveller, bed, heating and appliances all good making a largely self-catering stay possible and enjoyable.
What could be improved: The only problem was with the shower recess. Perhaps because the floor has subsided, shower water no longer drains away correctly and leaks onto the bathroom floor. Poor quality attempts have been made to address this problem but not effective and unsightly. Professional remediation would be the best solution.

"Perfect little place for solo traveller with great transport links"
Perfect little space for me on a solo trip. Kitchen had all the things you needed. Really good transport links a very frequent bus to central London plus piccadilly line just down the road. My room when I checked in wasn't cleaned so I contacted them and instantly sent the cleaners so I barely waited 20 minutes for my room to be ready. Comfortable bed and really nice shower plus soap and shampoo if you needed them. Area is nice too, came back very late at night and it was well lit and not creepy
What could be improved: Bed is very weird, comfortable but weird. If you sat on it in a certain way you'd basically feel like you're falling through. It wasn't cleaned before I arrived (they fixed it very quickly but it was after checking in time so you'd expect it to be cleaned) One of the plug sockets behind the bed doesn't let you put a plug inside. Would be v much preferable if there was a lamp in the room. It was either having the TV on mute or have the full lights on.

"Pleasant"
I liked the utilities. Bed was comfortable. Close to tube station and lots of buses.
What could be improved: The bathroom sink was too small. The shower leaked a lot. The floor was dirty on arrival. The frying pan needs to be stainless steel to work on the type of hot plates in the kitchenette.

"Inexpensive and convenient"
The reviews were so mixed it was hard to know what I was getting into, so here’s the detailed download to help you make your decision: clearly they’ve listened to feedback and made the entry very easy, including step by step instructions with photos that they provide after booking. it’s a simple code for the front door and a lock box inside with the apartment key. Had no issue. it’s VERY convenient to Manor House tube stop (and Finsbury if you prefer but Manor closer and less busy). 5 min walk to tube. Apartment is small, very small, just enough room for a bed and kitchen. But all I needed was a modest, safe, clean place to crash at night bc I was out spending my money exploring London during the day. It was less than half the price of other places I found. The shower/bathroom isn’t great. It’s tiny and they have put up shower doors to address prior complaints but it’s now comically small (hard to even access sink so I used the kitchen sink). There’s still a lot of water damage that they really need to address but it’s fine for a few days.

"Small modern space"
Very neat and modern furnishings and pretty well kitted out considering the space confines.
What could be improved: Although more of a personal preference, I found the bed very hard to sleep in as it was very soft/sinky rather than on the firmer side. It was also hard to keep the room cool even though I visited in May. Also was given a key code for the lockbox that wasn't correct and it was very hard to get a hold of someone quickly considering I couldn't get into the apartment. Would likely be a little tight for two people to stay here.

"Disappointing"
N/A
What could be improved: The property was not as advertised, way smaller than shown on the pictures. One of the main reasons choosing this property were the facilities, the washing machine was broken, we called the host and they advised someone will be coming in to fix it, when an engineer came they said they need to contact someone else and then they will have someone dispatched by the end of the week, when than engineer came they said they cannot fix it so they informed again and someone else came again stating this cannot be fixed and to make a complaint. We were going in circles for a week. When my daughter called the given number she was told they have a ticket raised for a new washing machine and that it would have been delivered on the day or the next day, she explained Saturday was the last day and it wouldn’t have been ideal to wait for a new washing machine to be delivered so she asked for a refund, she was informed the person who took the call was not the host but he would inform them about the refund and get back to us, keep in mind this was last Wednesday no one got back to us and when we tried to call again there was not reply.
