Okay, so I’ve walked past this building on Eversholt Street probably a hundred times over the years, and honestly? I never really paid attention to it until I actually stayed here. It’s one of those classic London conversions where they’ve taken something traditional and given it this really thoughtful modern makeover – the kind where you can tell someone actually cared about the details rather than just slapping some IKEA furniture together and calling it a day.
The location is actually pretty brilliant once you get your bearings. I mean, Eversholt Street sounds a bit industrial (and parts of it are), but you’re literally a three-minute walk from Camden Market when you want that chaos, and the same distance to Euston when you need to escape London entirely. What I really loved though was discovering all these little side streets nearby – there’s this fantastic Lebanese place on Drummond Street that locals queue for, and honestly, being able to grab proper curry at 11pm from one of the Bengali spots around there saved me more than once. The Regent’s Canal is right there too, which most tourists miss completely, but it’s perfect for those early morning walks when London’s still quiet.
The flat itself has that thing where everything just works, you know? The shower actually has proper pressure (anyone who’s stayed in converted London flats will understand why this matters), the wifi doesn’t cut out every ten minutes, and there’s enough space to properly unpack without living out of a suitcase. I particularly liked how they’ve done the windows – you get loads of natural light during the day, but it’s surprisingly quiet at night considering you’re on a main road. The kitchen’s properly equipped too, not just a kettle and a prayer like some places. I ended up cooking more than I planned because everything was actually there – decent knives, proper pans, even coffee that didn’t taste like it had been sitting around since 2019. The style leans contemporary without being cold, if that makes sense. Clean lines but actually comfortable furniture, artwork that looks like someone chose it rather than ordered it in bulk.
What really struck me was how the whole experience felt… well, easy. Check-in was smooth, the building felt secure without being intimidating, and when I had a question about the heating (took me a while to figure out the controls), I got a helpful response within the hour. It’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’re staying somewhere special without all the fussy hotel theater. The 9.5 rating starts making sense when you realize it’s all these little things adding up – from the fact that the elevator actually works reliably to having blackout curtains that properly block out those summer mornings when London daylight starts at 4:30am. For the price point in central London, especially with this much space and that location, it’s honestly hard to fault.
