This penthouse apartment in Clerkenwell boasts not one, but two private balconies overlooking the leafy skyline – perfect for breakfast or drinks with a view. Inside, it's compact but well designed, with a dedicated office area if you need to work. It's best suited to cat lovers, as the host's cat will be around during your stay. You’ll be just a minute’s walk from local restaurants, while Old Street tube station is ten minutes away. Shoreditch, Angel, and Farringdon are all within easy walking distance, too, so it's a great base for exploring the city.
