Quiet room in hip flat in heart of London
Our flat is located next to a lovely public park and borders on the Regent's Canal. Despite its central location, this is a quiet area in the middle of bustling London.<br /><br />It takes less than a 10 minute walk to busy Upper Street, one of the trendier areas in London full of restaurants, shopping, nightlife and theatre. <br /><br />Angel tube (Northern line) is 10 minutes away. And the area has plenty of 24/7 bus stops taking you, amongst others, to Old Street, Camden, Kings Cross and Dalston.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />This is a cosy flat with a spacious living room and views onto a small park and a wharf, with the Shard and the Gherkin looming in the background.<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />Our guests can use our kitchen, living room and balconies, and of course have their private room and bathroom.<br /><br /><b>Other things to note</b><br />One of us works from home and prefers it to be quiet during the day.
Our place is situated at the intersection of some of the trendiest places in London, in between Shoreditch and Camden, and close to central London. The area has plenty to offer itself as well, from pubs to restaurants to shopping to beautiful walks along the canal—it has got it all.<br /><br />Some of the better pubs within walking distance: The Island Queen, The Lexington, the Charles Lamb, The Narrow Boat Pub. And similarly close is Exmouth Market, known for its hip restaurants and bars.<br /><br />And yes, Boris Johnson is a close-by neighbour. Not a big selling point, but hey...
I live and work in London, and am a part-time PhD student at Ghent University in Belgium. I am originally from Luxembourg and my better half is from Singapore. I travel a fair amount for work and my studies, and for holidays together with my wife, of which we have far too few. 

When travelling for work, I enjoy meeting people from all around the world to remind myself where I am and what really matters.

Laptop and wifi have unfortunately become necessities. To massage my brain, I like to listen to a lot of music. And to attenuate frustrations, I find nothing more effective than a good workout. 

I like to think of myself as friendly and open-minded, organized, neat and clean, and leaning towards discretion. But of course, this is for others to judge.
