Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Luxury 2BR Apartment in Central London on Great Sutton Street, you’ll notice it sits right in the heart of Islington — and I mean that in the best way possible. This four-star place doesn’t try to be flashy from the outside, but once you’re inside, you realize that’s actually part of its charm. The building has that classic London character you can’t fake, with modern touches that make you feel like you’re staying at a friend’s really nice place rather than some sterile hotel.
The Space Itself
The two-bedroom setup here is honestly perfect if you’re traveling with family or friends who don’t want to be crammed into a tiny hotel room. Each bedroom feels properly sized — not those awkwardly small spaces you sometimes get in London rentals. The living area flows naturally into the dining space, and there’s this sense that someone actually thought about how real people would use the space day to day.
Kitchen and Daily Life
What really sold me on this place was the kitchen — it’s not just for show. You’ve got everything you need to make proper meals, which honestly saves a fortune when you’re staying in London for more than a couple nights. The appliances actually work well (you’d be surprised how often that’s not the case), and there’s enough counter space to spread out. I found myself making coffee there every morning instead of rushing out to find a café.
Location and Getting Around
Being in Islington puts you in this sweet spot where you’re close enough to central London but not dealing with the tourist crowds every time you step outside. The area has that lived-in London feel — proper pubs, independent shops, people walking their dogs. You’re maybe ten minutes from King’s Cross by foot, which connects you to basically everywhere. Angel station is even closer if you prefer the Northern line.
Why Guests Love It
Look, the 8.4 rating makes sense once you’ve stayed here. It’s not trying to be something it’s not — just a really well-thought-out apartment in a neighborhood that feels authentically London. The little touches matter here: proper blackout curtains, decent water pressure, reliable WiFi that actually works for video calls. You know what I mean — the stuff that can make or break a longer stay but that you don’t always think about when booking.
Guest reviews
"Lovely spacious apartment in a prime location"
Very spacious and clean apartment. Great location. Lift access (only a handful of steps out of the lift).
What could be improved: Painting works happening during our stay. Late check in at 4pm. Noise from above apartment throughout the night and into the early morning.

"Very pleasant and great location"
It’s newly renovated and clean, very spacious, it even has a separate powder room in addition to the bathroom. The interior design is modern and tasteful. Everything works. Kitchen appliances are good quality, clean, and work well, WiFi and TV also. The location is great, big selection of pubs and restaurants close by, bus lines and tube station around the corner or just a short walk away. If you don’t mind walking for 30 or 45 minutes you can even reach a lot of the attractions by foot.
What could be improved: There was construction within the building and in the neighboring building, so quite a bit of noise during the day. Most likely this is a temporary issue. From time to time we could hear the people in the upstairs apartment walking around quite noisily - this is an older building, though well kept and modernized.

"Great apartment in good location"
It was very large, spacious, clean, well equipped and well located for my purpose.
What could be improved: There was a building site next door which on occasion could be noisy.
The floors on the apartment were extraordinarily squeaky as people walked on them. This was particularly unfortunate as it was predominantly at night over the bedrooms.
It could also do with another couch in the living room.

"Misleading & Dishonest Listing – Requesting Full Refund"
What could be improved: Our experience at this property was unfortunately very disappointing. The apartment was advertised as having two bathrooms, which was the primary reason we booked it. Upon arrival, we discovered that this was not true, and the host later admitted that the listing was incorrect. This caused serious discomfort for us, especially since we specifically needed two separate bathrooms.
In addition, the access codes provided by Booking.com and the property were completely different, causing confusion and delay during check-in. This was very inconvenient, especially after a long journey.
Although the host acknowledged the mistake, no practical solution was offered, and we had to stay the entire week in an arrangement that did not meet our needs. Basic amenities like towels were also not provided adequately and had to be requested again.
Overall, this stay was uncomfortable, misrepresented, and not worth the price. The property description needs to be corrected, and guests should be informed honestly about what they are booking.
the blinds were not working at few locations.
Because the listing was false and deceptive, we strongly believe we should receive a full refund, as we did not get what we paid for. Booking.com should seriously consider delisting this property until it provides accurate information and meets proper standards.
Honesty is better than misleading guests. This experience was uncomfortable, inconvenient, and not worth the price at all.

"Recomand aceasta locatie"
Apartament situat intr-o zona sigura , cu puburi si restaurante in zona, aproape de metrou ( statia Barbican ) si de market. ( Tesco este f.aproape). Apartamentul este f.ok organizat pentru o familie de 2 adulti cu 3 copii, 2 dormitoare spatioase si un living cu 2 canapele, 2 bai ( una cu cada si una fara ). Este o locatie dotata cu aparat de cafea si masina de spalat rufe si vase, foarte curat si calduros( intensitatea caldurii putea fi reglata din fiecare calorifer in functie de nevoi).
Comunicarea cu gazda a fost foarte buna, au fost amabili si seriosi.
What could be improved: Singurul lucru mai putin placut , dar nu tine de proprietate neaparat , este ca se aude de la vecinii de sus orice miscare .

"Goede accommodatie in een leuke buurt."
Mooi ruim appartement met goede faciliteiten.
What could be improved: Twee tijdelijke zaken. De vaatwasser werkte niet. Werd opgelost. En er wordt gebouwd in aanpalende ruimte wat geluidsoverlast geeft.
