A Piece of Heaven

Holiday Rental Description

When you’re staying just six minutes from King’s Cross Station, the bustling travel hub of London, you might not expect to find serenity. However, this Georgian maisonette defies all expectations, offering a luxurious and calm spot with elegant and original decor. From rich, hardwood flooring and cabinets, to chic hanging lamps and art adorning the walls, a rustic versus modern contrast is present throughout. While we love the interior details, an outdoor area in the city centre is a rare feature that’s hard to ignore. With not one but two separate spaces for entertaining, enjoy an Earl Grey in the morning, and move on to a glass of fine English sparkling wine by dusk. As if exploring the gorgeous home and grounds wasn’t enough, your host has some extra surprises. Indoors, find your very own 4K projector and sound system for a luxury movie night. Outside, find a barbecue and even an outdoor heater for winter nights. If you muster up the courage to leave your peaceful palace, head seven minutes over the canal to Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard. For foodies and shoppers alike, this recently redeveloped area has beautifully renovated buildings housing cocktail bars, artisan markets, and high-end restaurants.

Home truths:
*As this home allows for self check-in, you won't meet your host, but building staff are around 24/7
*For a perfect cup in the morning, there's a bean grinder for the cafetière
*There is a washing machine and drying rack, but no tumble dryer
*As this home is split over two levels, be prepared to climb some stairs
*There's no air conditioning, but your host provides portable fans instead
*Your bedroom is on the lower ground floor, so there's less natural light down here
