About this apartment rental
Life in the City - your home away from home in Central London!
A cool top floor penthouse apartment offering 110 sqm of living space, including a 40 sqm decked terrace overlooking the financial city. You'll be in the heart of the city - the buzz (and delicious food) of the market street below by day, the quiet you need to rest by night.
The penthouse is a newly built conversion on top of what used to be a pub-house (turned into a cool and lively cafe) and is great both for business visitors to London (walking distance to the City, 2 stops from Kings Cross), as well as tourists (a 10 min walk to St. Paul's and from there take the tube to Oxford street or cross the river over to the Tate Modern for example).
The 40 sqm decked terrace of the flat with expansive views on the City is what makes this place special and is a great end of day destination and a nice brunch/lunch spot any time of the week (London weather permitting).
The master bedroom has a king-size bed, the smaller bedroom has a reclining sofa, that can sleep two. The bathroom has a bathtub as well as a separate shower.
Fully equipped kitchen, including a blender (great for smoothies any time of day), juice press (to satisfy your thirst for fresh orange juice) and a Nespresso coffee machine to help you wake up in the morning. A large oven and stove as well as a microwave, for those who feel the need to cook at home, although there are a bunch of great places at your doorstep (Turkish, sushi, Vegan, Thai, Indian, Italian, Ramen noodles and more).
For groceries, Waitrose supermarket is just down the street.
Please note, the penthouse is situated on the top (3rd) floor of an old pub house conversion. As such, there is no lift in the building, not recommended for guests who may have mobility problems. The flip side of the walk up the stairs are the sweeping views of the city from the large outdoor space of the terrace.
Walking distance to St. Paul's cathedral, Tate Modern, Tower bridge, etc. Close to 3 metro stops/5 metro lines: Barbican, Old Street and St. Paul's.
Open market on Whitecross is fun and delicious!

At your doorstep: the Barbican; Guildhall school of music; Smithfields; Shoreditch; Kingscross St Pancrass; Sandlers Wells; Bank of England;

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
This is my 1st experience in UK, no doubt the property was good, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the host was very helpful in check-in, though we had a very small niggle. We made use of her notes about the city and nearby places to go around. The location of the property was very close to all basic needs. My only challenge was carrying my luggage upstairs and bringing it down.

Great location in a quiet neighbourhood of barbican, away from the hustle and bustle but still close enough you can take the tube/bus and be in the thick of it all within 15 min. Grocery store really close, multiple coffee shops and some great restaurants in the area as it’s also close to shoreditch. Everything is clean, host is very accommodating and was able to respond to all questions we had. Overall, it was a lovely stay! Only feedback I have is on check in process - although the listing does say the location in which to get the key for the entrance to the building is a bit dusty and can’t be helped, it was quite grubby as we had to move trash from the ground to get it. I don’t know what the rules are for Vrbo listings in London but a lockbox in a semi-hidden area would be better. Regardless, this would not deter me from staying here again because the actual apartment is great and met all our needs. Thank you Milena!

Check in was a nightmare. Arrived at 1am and couldn’t find the keys. No lighting. Very dark. Key was behind a box and the wall. Walked around till we found hotel. $220.
