The house

This contemporary penthouse apartment sits on a quiet side street in a superb Zone 1 location between King's Cross and Angel. Angel tube station is about a 5-minute walk away and King's Cross station around 9 minutes, so the city's main sights are easy to reach. While perfectly located for those arriving from continental Europe via Eurostar, King's Cross also has regional and national trains for day trips out of London. From Angel, head north along Upper Street, which locals call "Supper Street" for its huge choice of excellent restaurants, bars and cafés.

The apartment is located on the third floor with lift access. The bedrooms are on the entry level. The first bedroom has a double bed and built-in storage. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, built-in storage and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. Its en-suite has a walk-in shower, sink and toilet. Between the two bedrooms, a shared bathroom has a bathtub with an overhead rainfall shower, a sink and a toilet. A flight of stairs leads up to the heart of the home: an open-plan kitchen and living area on the top floor, brightened by colourful burnt orange accents.

A sofa, chairs and a flat-screen TV make it easy to unwind. A dining table for six is set up for relaxed meals or entertaining. The kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, hob, built-in microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, and there's a washer/dryer for longer stays. Off the living area, a small balcony with a table and chairs is just right for a morning coffee or an evening drink above the city. With its penthouse position, stylish interiors and excellent transport links, this apartment makes a superb short-term rental for couples, friends or small families who want a central London base on a quiet street.
