Set close to Angel and Upper Street, this welcoming London home blends classic details with an easy, lived-in feel. Inside, you’ll find warm wooden floors, sash windows, original touches and a comfortable layout made for settling in rather than simply passing through. The kitchen opens onto a private terrace for a little outdoor breathing room, while cafés, restaurants, shops and excellent transport links are all close by.

There’s a warmth to this home that feels very London. The wooden floors, sash windows, fireplaces and older details give it a sense of history, while the rooms themselves feel relaxed and comfortable rather than overly formal. It’s the kind of place that feels best once you’ve unpacked, put the kettle on and started treating it like home.

The living space has a cosy, settled feel, with plenty of natural light and room to properly relax after a day out. Whether you’re reading, catching up over a drink or winding down in the evening, it feels removed enough from the pace of the city to give you somewhere comfortable to come back to.

The kitchen has a more traditional, homely character, with wooden worktops, plenty of practical space and a dining area for easy breakfasts or meals together. One of my favourite things about this part of the house is that it opens directly onto the private terrace, so on brighter days you can step outside with your morning coffee or sit out for a little while before heading back into London.

The bedrooms continue that warmer, more individual feel, with wooden floors, soft light and details that make the rooms feel like part of the home rather than identical sleeping spaces. Upstairs, exposed brick and beams add another layer of character and give the house a lovely sense of personality as you move through it.

To help you settle in, we’ll leave a starter welcome pack with complimentary tea and coffee, travel-sized toiletries, and everyday essentials such as loo roll, kitchen roll and washing-up bits to get you through the first few days.

The location is a big part of the appeal. Angel and Upper Street are close by, so cafés, restaurants, pubs, shops and everyday essentials are all within easy reach. You’re also well placed for Islington, King’s Cross and the wider city, with good transport connections when you want to explore further.

It’s a lovely London base for guests who want somewhere comfortable and welcoming, with a little more warmth and individuality than a standard city apartment — and the bonus of that private terrace just off the kitchen.

As this is a busy and well-connected part of London, you may hear normal city sounds from time to time, particularly during busier periods.

You have access to the entire property with no disruptions. Should a maintenance query occur, you will be asked permission first before we access the property to carry out a repair.

A few helpful notes before your stay, so everything feels easy from arrival to check-out.

Check-in & Check-out
Check-in is from 4 pm, and check-out is by 10 am. If you’d like to arrive a little earlier or leave a little later, please let us know in advance. We’ll always try to help where we can, though this is subject to availability and may incur an additional fee.

Please do make sure you’re ready to check out on time, as our cleaning team often arrives promptly to prepare the home for the next guests. Unauthorised early arrivals or late check-outs are charged at £20 per half hour.

Stairs
Please note there is no lift in the building.
There are also stairs within the home, so families with little ones should keep this in mind and supervise younger children carefully around the staircase.

Parking
There is no parking available at the property, but there are several convenient and reasonably priced options nearby:
- RingGo for pay-as-you-go on-street parking
- Parkopedia to compare nearby car parks and parking options
- JustPark, where local residents often rent out private parking spaces at more competitive rates

Please note that if you hire a Zipcar, parking is not included in the hire charge and will need to be arranged and paid for separately.

Using the Sofa Bed?
If you’d like to use the sofa bed, please give us at least 24 hours’ notice so we have enough time to arrange fresh linen.

There is a £25 linen charge, which includes fresh sofa bed linen and four towels.

Family Facilities
A travel cot is available to hire for £40, which covers delivery and collection. Please bring your own cot bedding.

If you’d also like a high chair, we can provide both the travel cot and high chair for a total of £45 for your stay. Please request these in advance so we have enough time to arrange them before arrival.

Keys
We’ll send clear instructions before check-out on where to leave the keys. Please follow these carefully, as missing a step can delay the cleaning team and affect the next guests arriving.

A £50 fee applies if keys are not returned correctly. Lost keys requiring lock replacement will incur a £100 charge. If you are locked out and we need to attend the property, there is a £60 call-out fee, so please keep the keys safe during your stay.

Smoking
This is a strictly non-smoking home. A £200 charge will apply if smoking is detected in the property.

Extra Guests & Noise
This is a residential area, so we kindly ask that you keep noise levels respectful and do not host parties or play loud music.

Only guests included on the booking are permitted to stay, unless agreed with us in advance. Breaching either rule may result in a £250 fine.

Lost Property
Please have a good look around before you leave. Forgotten items are handled by a third-party courier, who charges a minimum of £25 per item, plus delivery costs.

Linen for Longer Stays
For stays of 21 nights or more, our professional linen service requires a refresh every 21 days.
You can choose either a fresh linen delivery or to rehire the current set, which we’ll collect after check-out. Both options are billed the same.

Property Management
This home is professionally managed by Pass the Keys®, offering thoughtful hospitality in unique homes.
You’ll have fresh linen, quality toiletries, 24/7 guest support and a dedicated local team on hand throughout your stay. The property has also been personally inspected and approved to meet our Property Readiness Standard.

IMPORTANT: On behalf of our host at Pass the Keys, we require guest verification facilitated by Truvi (Previously called Superhog). Upon confirming your booking, Truvi will contact the lead booker via a secure link, providing detailed instructions for the verification process.

The online verification requires a government-issued photo ID and a credit or debit card. During this process, you may choose between a refundable GBP 500 deposit (plus GBP 10 transaction fee currency equivalent) or purchase a non-refundable damage waiver of GBP 40 (currency equivalent) to cover potential damages during your stay.

Once the verification process is successfully completed, check-in information will be provided. If you opted in for a deposit, this will be refunded via credit/debit card after your stay, subject to an inspection of the property.
