Sleeping FAQs

Make the most of everything this exciting city has to offer without compromising on sleep and relaxation. This apartment is located on a substantially quieter block than the rest of this busy area. The bedroom is at the back of the property, with blackout curtains, double glazed windows and the latest memory foam mattresses, all dressed in luxurious all-year cotton duvets, with 2 pillows per guest.

A baby crib and high chair can also be offered.



LOCATION AND TRANSPORT
The area

Angel is an eclectic neighbourhood, famous for its nightlife and collection of iconic local pubs, stylish cocktails bars, renowned international restaurants and upmarket, boutique shopping. One of the most in-demand places to live in London, this safe and eco-friendly neighbourhood is also popular with celebrities – Emma Watson, Boris Johnson, James McAvoy, Colin Firth and Lily Allen are all famous faces that have called this vibrant area home in the last few years.

Yet despite it’s amazing reputation and convenient Zone 1 location, the area still has a relaxed, trendy atmosphere. Angel is frequented by local Londoners, with fewer tourists, so you can enjoy an authentic London experience with the luxury of being close to London’s attractions if you wish to explore the city.

The apartment is extremely close to many restaurants, shops, supermarkets and ATMs.

• There are 10 coffee shops within 20 metres
• There is a shopping centre 100 metres away
• There are 3 supermarkets within 50 metres
• There is a 24/7 convenience store just next door


Getting around

The apartment is located on Upper Street, an extremely accessible location for all of Central London, North, South, East or West and with unbeatable transport links.

Angel tube station and Highbury-Islington tube station are both 5 minutes walk away and there is a bus stop right outside the apartment. You can even rent bicycles from automatic stations nearby.

There is public (pay and display) parking for your car, should you chose to drive into London. You can park on the street, or a nearby indoor carpark. However, we recommend public transport instead, as it’s far easier and quicker to explore London in this way.

• Oxford Street (15 minutes)
• Camden Lock Market (20 minutes)
• Regent’s Park (20 minutes)
• British Museum (20 minutes)
• Old Street and Silicone Roundabout (10 minutes)
• St Paul’s Cathedral (20 minutes)
• Shoreditch (15 minutes)
• Westminster (30 minutes)
• West End (30 minutes)
• Southbank (30 minutes)

Getting to the apartment from the airport is easy using public transport (tube, train or bus) but it’s more economical to hire a private taxi if you have a lot of luggage or many guests. I will give you the information to book this.


Our local recommendations

• Walk down to the Turkish restaurant next door for a mix-grill or Turkish breakfast; or even a full English breakfast at the Workers Café with some real London people.
• Have brunch at Ottolenghi, the flagship branch of the world-famous restaurant and patisserie. The cosy venue is minutes from the apartment, where you can enjoy incredible French toast, brownies, smoked salmon breakfasts and colourful salads.
• Enjoy a cocktail and fine dining at Hoxley & Porter, or a traditional pint at the Hope & Anchor pub.
• Buy your groceries from one of the exceptional London supermarkets or organic food stores such as Planet Organic, Waitrose or Marks & Spencer’s.
• The Blow Bar is a must-visit if you’re going somewhere special on your London visit. This boutique hair bar will wash, blow dry and style your hair in just 30 minutes.
• Diverse is a beautiful clothing boutique loved by local fashionistas where you can buy the latest chic pieces from Diane von Furstenberg, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Isabel Marant and See by Chloe.
• See a live gig at Union Chapel, a beautiful Grade II listed church that has been converted into an unbeatable live music venue.
• Family-friendly attractions in the area include the Geffrye Museum and it’s splendid Kid’s Zone, the V&A Museum of Childhood, London Zoo and an abundance of parks and outdoor spaces such as Highbury Fields, Victoria Park, Regent’s Park and London Fields. The cafes in the area also welcome families.

Great location
This flat is in a great location. Close to public transport, shops and a fantastic selection of restaurants and cafes. The flat is generally as described and has some quaint qualities, such as a side table on wheels that love's to move across the room all by its self. We would have not hesitation in visiting again.

Fantastic location, superb communication and excellent flexibility of owners
We had a lovely stay! Paulo was an excellent host, with clear communication at every point of contact. We arrived early and the staff hustled to have our place prepared so we could check in early after our long flight. We also were permitted late check out. Halls were freshly painted at the time of our visit. Windows open fully to allow for ventilation. Fans available as well. Location was perfect. Short walk to the tube, lots of shops and restaurants right out of our front door. Thank you for a wonderful stay in London.

Excellent customer service and location
I actually did not stay at this flat, because maintenance was necessary there so Paulo offered us an upgrade to larger neighboring duplex (Property # 980621). However, VRBO will only allow me to leave a review here, so I have to state upfront that I never even saw the inside of this specific flat. However, I will say that Paulo and his team provided terrific customer service, and the duplex we stayed at was fantastic. Because it is nextdoor to this one, I will also note that the neighborhood is great. Public transit options include the tube within a 10-minute walk or a bus right outside the apartment. We took the bus frequently because I had my 11 and 4-year old children with me, and the younger one in particular got tired of walking so much. There are many excellent restaurant choices within a few blocks, and convenience and grocery stores nearby. If you are visiting with kids, you might like to know that the Highbury Fields playground, just north of the Highbury & Islington tube station, is wonderful. Additional very nice playgrounds are located at Barnard park a little further away to the southeast. For vegetarians/vegans, we highly recommend checking out EZ & Moss, an outstanding cafe just north on Holloway Rd. The neighborhood of this flat is busy, but we did not find it disturbingly noisy - even on nights when there was an event at the Islington Town Hall across the street and there were some rowdy folks outside, it was not loud inside. Next time I'm in London, I will definitely look to stay at one of Paulo's properties again and would love to be back in this location.

Great location!
Super easy to book travel and wonderful location. It was super nice to have the 2 bedrooms and the well stocked kitchen. Definitely an older building that could use a little paint and bathroom updating but certainly can’t beat the price and people are great to work with and really convenient.

Great place to stay to visit London
This property is well placed -- close to everything. It's very quiet and comfortable. Paulo (the owner) is very thorough and his preparedness makes for an easy stay. The place was spotless with plush towels and good bedding. My only complaints were the lack of a microwave and a drooling shower. We only stayed one night, as we moved to a 2 BR owned by Paulo. I think you can improve the shower issue by turning up the temp of the hot water on the boiler. We managed this in the second place and the shower was actually decent.

Great location, nice apartment
Paul's place was our first stop on our vacation, and it was definitely a highlight! The location of the apartment was great, with lots to walk to and quick access to the Tube. The apartment itself was clean, and the bed was the most comfortable of our stay anywhere. I am a clean freak about beds, and this one was super clean and comfortable. The layout is a bit different than pictured here, but overall the pictures are accurate and represent where you'll be staying. The neighborhood can get a bit rowdy at night, even on weeknights! Luckily, the bedroom is in the back, so the noise didn't wake us, but it's something to know. I mean, in my younger days that would have been a part of the appeal! ;) A short walk would bring you by great bakeries, toy shops, pizzerias, Greek restaurants, Italian restaurants, and pubs and cafes. There was a Gelateria a few blocks down that my daughter loved, and my husband was addicted to the Bakewell tarts at Costa. Yes, it's a chain, but so good. You're a short walk to Angel station and a shorter one to Highbury/Islington. Paul was also super responsive to any questions we had. I can't give a full 5 stars because while we were staying there was an issue with the bathroom which I had to alert Paul to on the day we arrived. I was surprised no one had told him before- the water would randomly scald you. I was traveling with a small child and couldn't bathe her (or myself!) comfortably because of it. I will say he was super quick to get an engineer in the apartment, but of our 5 day stay, 3 of them involved workmen needing access to the bathroom, which was in the bedroom, and us having to vacate with little or no notice. I understood his goal was to get it fixed and Paul didn't realize the amount of work it would entail or that it would take several days. But it definitely was a hassle to work around, and while I understand it's fixed now it definitely was a downer during our stay. Overall, I recommend Paul's place. It was seamless and he was responsive and generous with his flexibility.

Very tidy and comfortable one bedroom apartment. Highly recommended.
We booked this apartment because it was only 10 minutes walk to visit our family who live nearby and would definitely book it again when we visit from New Zealand. The two easily accessible tube stations made getting around London easy. The double bed (which in New Zealand would be called a Queen sized bed) was very comfortable, the linen was fresh and the bedroom was quiet being at the back of the building away from Upper Street traffic. The apartment was clean and well equipped for our needs. There are lots of eating places to choose from in Upper Street. We really enjoyed our stay.

Excellent. Ideal location. Clean. Good transportation. Paulo very responsive.
My experience was excellent. Paulo and his team were very responsive from booking, throughout the stay until departure. Good communication and concern for my stay was much appreciated. Obtaining keys was easy. House instructions for all appliances clear, helpful hints and activities are all printed out in the flat. Very helpful. Comfortable bed. Location excellent with good transportation-- both buses and tubes. Islington cafes and restaurants fantastic. Islington is a fun area to stay in. Plus I had gorgeous sunny weather almost every day of the two weeks! Thank you Paulo and team.

Nice Apartment in Excellent Location
We had a good experience in this property. The owner has gone to great lengths to think of everything for making a nice stay, from cell phones to tourist information to books and games. Communication with the owner was excellent. The property was clean and well equipped to suit our needs. The location was fantastic! We were within close walking distance to both the Angel & Highland/Islington Tubes and the bus stop was right outside the door. There were plenty of shops and restaurants to choose from.

Great location!
We really enjoyed our stay at the flat, it was clean and very comfortable. The entrance is located on a street that has dozens of resteraunts and bars. Basically we walked out the door to all the amenities you could imagine. The train is only a few blocks away we downloaded the Tube Map App and it was great to navigate though the subway system as well buy an Oyster card to swipe in and out of subway. It is easy to get to Oxford street, or Picadilly Circus only 15 minutes. We had breakfast daily from one of the 4 bakeries located on the block food was delicious. Area is very safe and people are friendly we recommend this vrbo.

Perfect flat, perfect location, wonderful host
I stayed in Paulo's outstanding flat for 2 months and immediately felt at home. The flat is well-equipped, clean, comfortable, and the location is unbeatable. The bedroom is in the back of the flat, allowing for quiet and peaceful evenings while at your doorstep are all the restaurants and nightlife of Angel/Islington. I would recommend this to single travelers/couples visiting London for the long-term or short-term guests looking for a solid base in one of London's best neighborhoods. Already looking forward to my next visit!

Amazingly central and well-appointed flat in one of the best neighbourhoods in London!
I rented this flat while in London for work rather than staying at hotel. It was definitely the right decision as the location was very convenient (all I had to do was cross the road and catch No. 4 bus to get the office) which it made it great for business and pleasure (most of my friends met me in and around Upper Street). Paul and team are like clockwork and everything worked to plan (getting keys, etc.). Everything was as advertised (which is always a worry when staying somewhere new). I was not disappointed and I will stay here again.

Großartige Lage, toller Aufenthalt.
Die Lage der Wohnung ist ideal um London zu erkunden. Busse fahren direkt vor der Tür. Das Cafe unten macht leckeres Frühstück. Es ist keine Luxus-Wohnung, das Treppenhaus ist sehr eng, die Wände krumm und schief, das Sofa etwas unbequem und es könnte einen Ticken sauberer sein - aber wir haben uns wohlgefühlt! Die Abwicklung war super, wir haben sogar ein Upgrade bekommen und es war alles sehr unproblematisch. Eine klare Empfehlung. Sollte ich wieder nach London kommen, würde ich die Wohnung noch einmal mieten.
