Stunning spacious Islington 2bed modern central flat
First Impressions
Stunning spacious Islington 2bed modern central flat sits on a quiet stretch of Enfield Road that honestly surprised me — you’re technically in Hackney, but it feels more like the calmer edges of London where locals actually live. The building itself is one of those converted Victorian terraces that’s been given a proper modern makeover, and when you step inside, you immediately get why this four-star place has such stellar reviews.
The Space
The apartment is genuinely spacious, which is saying something in London. The main living area has these big windows that flood the place with light, and I mean, you can actually spread out here without bumping into furniture every two seconds. Each bedroom is a proper size too — not those shoebox situations you sometimes get with holiday rentals. The modern fixtures and clean lines give it this relaxed, contemporary feel that works really well after a day of navigating London’s chaos.
Kitchen and Practical Bits
What I really appreciated was the kitchen setup. It’s fully equipped with everything you’d actually want to use — good knife, decent coffee maker, even proper plates instead of those flimsy things some places give you. There’s enough counter space to prep a real meal if you want to skip eating out for a night. Plus, having your own washing machine is honestly a game-changer when you’re staying more than a couple of days.
Location Perks
The neighborhood surprised me in the best way. You’ve got that authentic London residential vibe where you can grab groceries at the corner shop and actually chat with the person behind the counter. Angel tube station is about a 10-minute walk, which puts you one stop from King’s Cross and all those major connections. But here’s what I didn’t expect — you’re also walking distance to some really solid local pubs and that stretch of Upper Street with its mix of proper restaurants and quirky independent spots.
Why Guests Love It
Look, this isn’t about fancy hotel services or someone making your bed every day. What you get instead is space to actually live like a local for a bit, in a part of London that feels genuine rather than touristy. The wifi works properly, the shower has good pressure, and you’ve got room to unpack your stuff — which sounds basic but makes such a difference. It’s the kind of place where you end up staying in for breakfast because you can, not because you have to.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
