Overview

First Impressions

Trendy Spacious 1 Bedroom Flat sits right on Upper Street in the heart of Islington, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better. When I first walked up to the building, I was struck by how it blends seamlessly into the neighborhood’s Victorian architecture while clearly being something special inside. The entrance feels modern and welcoming — you know immediately you’ve made a good choice.

The Space Itself

This four-star apartment really lives up to its name when it comes to space. The room flows beautifully from the living area into the bedroom, and there’s actually enough room to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. The kitchen is surprisingly well-equipped for a rental — I mean, you could actually cook a proper meal here if you wanted to. The whole place has this contemporary vibe with clean lines and thoughtful touches that make it feel like a stylish London home rather than just another tourist rental.

Location & Neighborhood

Upper Street is one of those areas where you can walk everywhere, and I really mean everywhere. Angel tube station is just a few minutes away, but honestly, you might find yourself walking more than you planned because there’s so much to see. The street itself is lined with independent shops, cozy pubs, and some genuinely good restaurants — not the touristy kind, but places where locals actually go. You’re also perfectly positioned to explore Camden Passage’s antique shops or catch a show at one of the nearby theaters.

What Makes It Special

The thing that really sets this place apart is how it manages to feel both trendy and comfortable at the same time. The design choices are spot-on — modern without being cold, stylish without trying too hard. There’s something refreshing about staying somewhere that doesn’t feel like every other rental you’ve seen. The attention to detail shows, from the quality of the furnishings to the way the space is laid out to maximize both comfort and functionality.

Why Guests Love It

With a 9.1 rating, it’s clear that other travelers have discovered what makes this place work so well. You get the independence of having your own space combined with being in one of London’s most vibrant neighborhoods. The flat gives you a genuine taste of what it’s like to live in Islington rather than just visit it. Plus, having a proper base means you can actually relax between exploring — and in a city like London, that makes all the difference.

"The apartment was prefect for us (aged 70+ ) we would definitely stay again"
The location was prefect as we were attending a function at the Islington Assembly Hall which was just across the street. The apartment was fully equipped with everything you would need, even for a longer stay. The handbook was comprehensive and covered everything. It was home from home. Comfy bed, nice linen and white fluffy towels. The owner was easy to contact and responsive to any problems.
What could be improved: Shabby entrance and lots of stairs (don’t be put off it is worth the climb up)
