Stroud & Blue

This studio apartment makes the most of its small footprint. Sure, it's a little snug, but all the essentials are covered – there's a table for two, a comfortable bed, and even a compact kitchen. It's on the first floor, so stairs will be necessary, and the laundry room is shared. Still, you can't beat the location. Finsbury Park Station is a five-minute walk away. Shops, eateries, and bars abound in the local area – just venture up Blackstock Road or wander down Stroud Green Road for an array of options to whet your appetite.

Home truths:
*This apartment is on the first floor of an old Victorian house. There isn't a lift, so be prepared to climb stairs.
*As this is a studio apartment, space is a little tight.
*While there are no in-unit laundry facilities here, you will find a communal laundry room with a washing machine and dryer on the first floor of the building. It's shared with other guests.
*Please note that there's a camera monitoring the building's entrance, as well as a few in the communal corridors. The apartment also has a decibel monitor.
*Your host uses a keyless entry system for check-in, but can arrange physical keys upon request.
*Given the central location, expect to hear some general street noise during your stay.
