  : This was a perfectly fine, economical place to stay and very convenient to the British Library in London. The location is great, especially for an extended stay. There's an excellent supermarket a couple of blocks away, and several nice local restaurants around the corner. The Coal Drops complex is nearby, so there are plenty of amenities in the neighborhood.
  : We did not feel 100% safe. Someone tried to break into the building during our stay (there's a youth center on the ground floor of the building and one often smells cannabis), hacking open the lock. It and the doorframe remained unrepaired for several days. In other words, the front door of the building remained noticeably broken and open. We left messages for the apartment rental company several times, but although they are nice folks, they did not seem to be unduly concerned. We, on the other hand, felt we needed to carry our laptops and other valuables around with us constantly for those four days, as we did not feel the building was adequately secured. That was quite uncomfortable and inconvenient.

  : Excellent position within easy walking distance of the underground at Kings Cross, and with a nearby Sainsbury and Coop.The agency were very responsive when we highlighted our disappointment in the flat. Thank you to Andrea and Kurt for their help.
  : Before our arrival we received a message to say that we had been given a free upgrade. The upgraded flat did not have the balcony we had been promised originally and was extremely basic. We were not able to move back into the original flat that we had booked.The dining table was just inside the door of the lounge/kitchen/dining main room, pushed right up against the sofa, so really only 2 chairs could be easily accessed. The sofa was only just far enough from the TV to suffice. The kitchen was poorly equipped - no egg cups, chopping board, baking tray, pint glasses rather than tumblers We only intended to prepare breakfast at the flat, but the missing items made that difficult. The agency did provide a cafetire when asked. There was also a handle coming off the spice cupboard in the kitchen. On our arrival the toilet seat cover was broken and in the morning we discovered that the shower over the bath didnt drain properly. Again these two faults were sorted out when we complained about them. The shower head is rusty and the bathroom mirrors are all corroded.The general decor is in need of refurbishment and the flat didnt seem very clean. There were no paintings on the wall and the flat had no personality. On arrival one of the bedside lamps was broken. Again this was replaced on request. The hairdryer provided had quite a short flex, so it was not possible to access the nearest mirror while styling your hair.
