Our room was clean, but the house was not. Dirty floors, grotty kitchen sink, unusable kettle, and bathroom got gross quick with 4 people sharing it. Stairs also felt dangerous. We also had to keep our window open to air it out. In summary, the host needs to hire a cleaner for the whole house, or maintain it himself.

Bed was comfortable, location was good, had easy bus lines to where we wanted to go and a delicious German Bakery nearby.

-had to collect keys from a shop as host was away on business -difficult to get in touch with host -difficult to open security door -no clear indication of which apartment was the one being let, so I accidentally disturbed the neighbours -no clear indication which room I should stay in -light didn't work in one of the rooms -wet towels on beds -did not realise that the apartment was being rented out to another guest, especially unnerving as a lone female traveller, coming back to find a male guest lying on the sofa in the living room.

Good location, good value, and when I finally did get hold of the host, they did their best to rectify the issues remotely.

It was a bit complicated to figure out how to open and close the main entrance due to the amount of information, but we managed well thanks to the video instructions. Please improve your cleaning process. The room was very dirty - there was dust, lots of different hair on the floor, and it definitely needed hoovering. The bathroom also needed better cleaning. At night, it was noisy. We heard loud music outside twice during the night, which was very annoying.

It’s a great location, with many good places nearby, and it’s easy to get to other destinations from there. The room was also really warm, and it had a fairly recent renovation.

Very noisy. fairly basic

Was comfortable & convinced. Would stay again.

It's ok so long as you don't mind a shared bathroom. The bed was comfortable. It would be a good place for a small group for a weekend, but you would need to keep noise to a minimum.

A great location in Islington, very near to Saddlers Well Theater. There are plenty of great pubs, bars, cafes and restaurants nearby.

The extensive locking was a pain, simpler deadlocks would work better with solid doors. Parking was advertised as included but I had to pay out of pocket. Location is a bit sketchy at night and the parking situation does not look safe.

Well thought out and stocked stay. Very friendly and supportive but also dedicated host.

Stayed in October 2024

Could do with a few more towels and perhaps a bit more wall decorations

Robert was very attentive, and accommodating, looking after my bag after I had checked out, was a real-life safer. The room was very clean and the bed was so comfortable. Additionally, the location was excellent

Hallways needed to be hoovered.

Fabulous location. Good sized bedroom. Comfortable bed. Friendly host.

Our sheets were still in the dryer a half hour before check in, but Robert let us know that upon our early arrival. We decided to explore the area a little and returned about 2 hours after check in. Unfortunately our sheet and duvet cover were still damp when the bed was made up, so the bedding smelled sour. We stripped the bed and hung the duvet cover up to dry by the window. The smell stayed in our clothes 🥺. To be fair, we live in Europe and we know that the combination washer/dryer units do not do a great job at drying things completely. It was pouring rain all day, so getting laundry completely dry by hanging it was going to be a huge challenge. It seems that we stayed during a deep cleaning or transition period for furniture - the living room was in disarray for the duration of our stay. The winder stairs were a challenge because they were not level and one of the hand rails was missing. It impacted me probably more than the usual young, able-bodied guests because I am disabled. There were empty toiletries on the shower shelf, which left no room for our own toiletries. The bathroom sink could have used a wipe down.

We enjoyed the proximity to the bus line. It was very easy to get to Finsbury Park. The bed was comfortable and we appreciated that there was an extension cord AND a power adapter in the room. We had brought our own power plugs, but it was very thoughtful to consider that people may not know there are different outlets. We also liked that Robert was extremely communicative/responsive and kind to us. I appreciated the thoughtful ways in which we were treated as guests. We were allowed to come to the property prior to check in and hang out in the living room to get out of the rain. Robert let us know that the sheets were still in the dryer, so our room was not ready because the bed wasn't made up. We were provided bathroom slippers to avoid going barefoot in the shower/bath. Robert moved our groceries in the refrigerator to their own drawer, took a photo and let us know via Whatsapp. As women it was important that we felt secure and safe during our travel, and this property felt safe. Safety was emphasized from the beginning.

Be aware that the bed has a footrest - not amazing if you are tall! I have definitely seen cleaner places before.

The apartment is located in the heart of Angel. We really enjoyed it! The landlord was really helpful and great in communicating!

A great place to stay for the price! Ended up having to make the booking last minute but it ended up better than the other place. Lovely host, comfy bed and good location! Communication with host was also great and very informative.

Location

Stayed in May 2025

Its a room in what appears to be a rented out accommodation. The couple who live there were unwelcoming and we felt like we were intruding on their space even though we were hardly there. The shared bathroom was dirty and the entrance and stairs were filthy with old carpet hanging off the stairs in places. Dust everywhere. The room was bare aside a bed table office chair and beanbag. The bedding was all crumpled and unironed, 2 old hard crispy towels chucked on the bed. The light switch in the room operated the couple living there's bedroom light too which we discovered when we asked the guy who lives there why one of the switches had a cover on. He was really rude and abrupt about the switch Really Bad vibes from him ! Total rip off!!

Nothing. It was terrible staying there.

Dirty carpet, smelly room . On arrival ,the window had been left open, but the smell did not dissipate. The bathtub had not been cleaned , and the owner re-imburse us £10, when I pointed out the above issues. We had not been informed about the tea and coffee making facilities on the floor below. On arrival, the property was not ready, and we had to wait for another hour, until 4pm.

Good location for a night out in Islington/ Angel.

It was a bit hard to understand the door.

Really central place, it's super convenient to get to everything. The room had a big bed that was comfortable. Shared bathroom was also big. Host was nice and gave some recommendations for restaurants in the area.

we weren’t given any clear introduction to the house rules or expected formalities, which you’d normally expect as a guest and felt very unwelcome. While the kitchen and washing machine were advertised, the hosts didn’t explain how or when we could use these amenities, leaving us feeling like we were intruding on their personal space. The cleanliness was another major concern. The bathroom was quite dirty, and our room had a damp smell that made it difficult to sleep. When we did use the kitchen, it was in a shockingly poor condition – I've stayed in hostels with cleaner shared kitchens and bathrooms, which are used by far more people daily. Overall, this experience was incredibly disappointing. Next time, I’ll opt for a hostel instead

The location of the apartment is its strongest point – it's situated in a nice area, offering easy access to local attractions. The kitchen is well-equipped, which is a positive feature. However, our stay was marred by several issues that made us feel quite uncomfortable.
