Kings Cross, renovated period property, quiet tree lined street, central London

My wife and I had a fantastic stay! We were lucky enough to explore many of the sights suggested by Hugh and all of the delicious restaurant recommendations.

This is a beautiful, lovingly maintained home near the Kings Cross Station. Comfortable for two. Wonderful kitchen, comfy bed, great shower and plenty of hot water. Easy walk to the Kings Cross station, and some delicious eateries nearby (especially the Thai restaurant). We felt safe in the neighborhood. There is a bit of grit and a few homeless folks that hang outside the nearby Tesco, but were quite benign.The living area and kitchen are at street level, and the bedroom and bath are below, so there are a few stairs if that is a barrier. The gardens in back are GORGEOUS! The bed is really comfy but…close to the walls. This means that one person needs to make room to accommodate the others exit. Communication with Hugh was great.

We stayed for 4 days in June and loved the cozy quaintness of the flat and a great stay for couples. We were right around the corner from Kings Cross and St. Pancras, with Euston Station just down the street, so we could catch the Tube or a train when we needed it. And there are some really interesting stores and restaurants inside the stations. Hugh was an excellent host and it was quickly evident that he loves gardening, as there is a 2-level beautiful shaded garden in the back, with places to sit and just relax or enjoy a meal. While there isn't air conditioning, there are excellent fans for the warm weather, which kept us cool, and a cozy wood stove in the living room for the cold weather. The bedroom and bath are downstairs, which added to the coolness for sleeping. The bed is very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped and, if you don't feel like cooking, there are tons of restaurants and fast food places close by, as well as a small Tesco on the corner. A wonderful Waitress & Co grocery is a close walk away, too! We did a lot of sight-seeing while we were there and walked along the canal to Coal Drops Yard where there are shops, restaurants and relaxing places to sit and people watch. Hugh was a great host and we would definitely stay here again!

Hugh's place at Kings Cross was beautiful, comfy, and close to everything. We couldn't have asked for a better host, who gave us many tips for what to see and do within minutes of his flat. This was truly a memorable experience, and we hope to visit again!

I cannot recommend this property highly enough. Beautifully furnished and ideally located for easy access into central London. Hugh, who is the host, is also incredibly helpful. I will definitely stay again.

This property is super conveniently located and aesthetically pleasing with artwork, antiques, and beautiful finishes throughout. Kings Cross is one of London’s major transit hubs making trips about town as well as out of town as easy as you can get! Additionally it is convenient to walk to many sites without even using the Tube, making this an ideal home base. Great neighborhood dining options abound as well. What a delight to wake with a wall-to-wall private garden view from bed each morning and to open and close your day surrounded by a beautifully curated and maintained garden while you enjoy your beverage of choice. The apartment is impeccably maintained and the host is super friendly, responsive, and helpful! Tips for future guests — remember to pack your own shampoo, conditioner, and washcloths (according to what you use). Also please note that as is common in city apartments, you must access the bed on one side and crawl over for the second person to get in. This wasn’t a problem for us but might be for someone for whom this could pose a physical challenge. Hugh’s top rating for this unit is well-earned! We are grateful we got to enjoy his property for a week!

Hugh's place is a gorgeous flat in an excellent location. Really loved the comfortable and stylish apartment. This is my second time staying here and I have found it to be the perfect place to rest in between exploring London. Hugh was friendly and responsive to all my needs and I would happily book again!

Hugh's place is perfectly located by Kings Cross making all of London easily accessible by rail. But you don't even have to go that far to enjoy a number of excellent restaurants, sights and fun shopping opportunities. The flat was cozy and comfortable, providing everything I needed for a great trip!

Location is excellent. Great grocery, restaurants and stores nearby at Granary Square. Islington a short walk with many quaint shopping and dining areas. Proximity to Kings Cross station makes transit a breeze. Great running on Regents canal (a bit busy on weekends if not out early), Regents Park, and a bit further Hempstead Heath. Property has character, and is very comfortable. Outdoor space is lovely, but a bit cold to enjoy on this visit.

Perfectly clean and comfortable apartment in a great location. Really enhanced our London stay. Would be glad to return to this place in Kings Cross. Thank you.

We had such a fabulous stay here. The location is great with so many amazing restaurants to choose from. The house is perfect for two people. It is beautifully decorated and very well equipped. Hugh could not have been more helpful. Thank you so much!

My wife and I had a wonderful 3 night stay at Hugh’s place. We flew into Heathrow and took the train directly to Kings Cross and walked 5 minutes to the apartment. On the way out of England, we flew out of Gatwick, and took the 45 minute train directly there. Not to mention w/in the local

Very clean, comfortable, easy access to the tube (can easily get anywhere) and great restaurants near by. Highly recommend!

Hugh’s place was amazing. Honestly, it far exceeded expectations. My husband and I repeatedly stated that the place was so much nicer than the photos. We loved the back garden, and the attention to detail in the decor. The location was so wonderful. We could so easily get around. We were able to visit family outside of London and still make it to a show on the west end every night thet we were there.

Hugh, a most responsive and thoughtful host, is sharing a most amazingly beautiful London home. Gorgeous furnishings and amenities, this is the most tastefully decorated VRBO - a true home, not a slap-dash rental. The two levels of gardens are breathtaking and if it is too cool and rainy to use them, the elegant bathtub is perfect for a warming soak! So easy to walk, tube, bus or train to all the city and beyond. Ah, and the tea selection is beyond measure!
