Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
In the heart of King's Cross, this apartment makes a fantastic base for friends. Both bedrooms are cosy – and, we won't lie, they're snug – but the terracotta-hued living area is as comfortable as it is stylish. A separate kitchen is a nice bonus, too. That said, you won't be short of eateries, cafes, and bars here as King's Cross boasts a bevvy of trendy spots to while away your downtime. And, of course, it's incredibly well-connected to the rest of London and beyond – King's Cross St. Pancras is a five-minute walk away.

Home truths
The bedrooms here are very compact. Both beds are pushed against the wall, making them only accessible from one side. While they can each fit two guests at a squeeze, we think one guest in each bedroom would be more comfortable.
Children and babies may be allowed upon request – please speak to your host before booking for more information.
Parking isn't provided, but you won't need a car in this central location. King's Cross Station is a five-minute walk away and has excellent connections across London.
The lead guest booking this home must be at least 23 years old.

Local guide
About Kings Cross
Kings Cross might have a historically seedy reputation on account of being a major London transport hub but things have certainly changed. The area has recently undergone major regeneration works, been pumped with some serious investment, and it is now home to some serious players on the restaurant scene (Granger & Co and Caravan to name just two). You can see some world-class contemporary art at Gagosian Gallery's largest London outpost and you're also within easy walking distance of the charming literary area of Bloomsbury on one side and desirable Islington on the other.
