Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A warm, lived-in house near King's Cross that feels like a home rather than a rental. The sitting room earns its keep on cold evenings – fireplace, deep colours, soft lighting, and enough character to make you want to stay put. The south-facing kitchen catches the day's light well into the afternoon, while the private terrace works just as well for morning coffee as for a quiet drink at dusk. King's Cross Quarter is close by, and Camden Market – with its street food, vintage stalls, and live music – is a twenty-minute walk away.

Home truths
This home is spread across three floors, so you'll be using the stairs a lot during your stay.
This is a lived-in home. You should expect some of the host's personal belongings to be present during your stay.
This is a well-connected London neighbourhood, so expect some light city noise from time to time – worth bearing in mind if you're a light sleeper.
Self-check-in is available here. You'll either pick up the keys at a nearby property or use a lockbox on the premises. Your host will confirm instructions before your arrival.
Starter toiletries are provided. However, you will need to stock up on other essentials such as coffee and tea, as these are not included.
Your host uses a third-party platform called Truvi for ID verification and to manage damage deposits independently from Plum Guide. They'll send you a link to fill out when you book.
