Property details

Eco-boutique nature haven apartment full of light and 180 degree view of a reservoir and it’s wildlife. Wake up to the chirping of birds, instead of the sounds of the city- minutes from central London!

A serene and beautiful space with sustainable bamboo and cork floors, eco-paint on the walls, lovingly decorated with world art and crafts, and either organic or toxic-free luxurious egyptian cotton linens and towels, toiletries, etc.

This apartment has full view over a reservoir and its wildlife (herons, foxes, geese, swans, etc.). Such peacefulness, beauty and clean air are a rare find in London's Zone 2.

There is a marina at the other side of the reservoir if you fancy swimming, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, rowing or sailing, though just watching from the balcony (or the seat on the inside) is very relaxing -and fun on a windy day!

There is also a castle that is used for indoor and outdoor climbing and abseiling -no prior experience required as instructors (and equipment) are available.

It is possible to walk or run around both the West and East reservoirs to soak in the sorrounding nature.

The apartment is a 10 minute walk from Manor House Underground Station, and both Finsbury and Clissold parks. It takes only 8 mins to get to Kings Cross / St Pancras International,, 15mins to Oxford Circus and the bright lights of the West End, 20 mins to Victoria and 25mins to Brixton.

There are numerous day and night busses which take you into central London and to the broad diversity of the East End.

In a residential area with the perfect combination of food stores, cute cafes, restaurant, bar, post office and dry cleaner.

There is one bedroom for one to two people, or a couple with a baby or young child, with a futon matress (with a memory foam topper for a soft feel over a firm sleep) on a normal height base with flexible wooden-slats.

There is a seat by the window, a closet with shelves and drawers, and full length space with hangers for your use.

The living room has a working fireplace and a lovely balcony with Truelawn luxury grass, two chairs and a table, to have a meal and catch the sun from morning to dawn -sunsets here are worth waiting for : )

Bed linens, towels, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner included

Nice view and quite spacious but lacked any clear house instructions. No lights working in the bedroom or bathroom for the entirety of my stay. Wi-Fi password provided was incorrect, as was the check-in buzzer code so I had to wait for an hour outside before I could get in the building. The back-up contact number provided for check-in was also unresponsive. Apartment building had thin walls and often you could hear neighbours screaming and arguing which didn’t create too nice of an atmosphere to be in.

Maria’s place is absolutely stunning! Apartment has view to the lake and you can see the lake and the boats, the patio with foxes and squirrels, wonderful nature! Location is fantastic too - few minutes from Manor House tube station, Sainsbury’s Local just a few minutes away, local cafes and restaurants too. It’s one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods! And Maria is a truly wonderful host - she was so proactive and responsive all the time, I could not be more grateful and happy with my overall experience.
