Holiday rentals with breakfast in London Borough of Islington

Cozy home with everything we needed as a home base while exploring London.

Stayed for the weekend. 5 mins walk from the Tube, easy to find and very quiet area. Lovely home and the room and bathroom space and very clean. Received a small basket with breakfast nibbles each morning, which was lovely with our morning coffee. Host quick to respond and we couldn't fault our stay.

I would certainly endorse all the positive comments from previous reviews that add up to Simona being rated a super host. Very happy with my week's stay. Simona is a very chatty, naturally welcoming host whose company I very much enjoyed. The room I had was small but all that I needed for somewhere to sleep after spending most of the time out-and-about in London, while Simona's house is a well-lived in, homely space in a great location. It might come with the odd creak and groan from the floorboards and plumbing, but, hey, welcome to 'Wimpy/Barrett Britain!' Ultimately, it's the human touches that make travelling so compelling and I look forward to sharing a plate of pasta with Simona when next in Wapping. That's dependant on availability of course - there's good reason why Simona's is usually booked-up far in advance. Glad for having had this chance for an introduction. Cheers!

I really love the place, I felt at home the whole time and the house was very clean, I will definitely come back to this place soon, thanks Mirjam and family ♥️

I had a comfortable stay at Colin's. It had everything I needed, and I look forward to returning on my next trip.

Anne was a kind and welcoming host—she let me check in early, made me tea, and showed me around the house. My room and bathroom were clean, and the home was well-located. I also wasn’t told until arrival that Anne would be away and her son would be the only person at the house. He was friendly and respectful, but as a solo female traveler, I would’ve appreciated knowing that in advance. Overall, a comfortable and pleasant stay!

This was the second time my partner and I have stayed with Simone and John. We immediately felt very at home and appreciated all the attention to detail to give us a warm welcome. We especially love the food that they prepare for breakfast...it is heavenly! It is a great area, close to fabulous restaurants in both Muswell Hill and Crouch End. We would highly recommend it!

Absolutely gorgeous home! Beautiful inside and out. Just five minutes’ walk from the tube station on a lovely quiet street. The home is more than 100 years old and gorgeously redone while keeping all the charm. Our room was exquisite with windows and door to the spectacular back garden. The local pub is right by the tube station. Comfy bed, great bathroom, beautiful breakfast sunroom…I’d give this place 10 stars if I could! Our hosts were friendly and very accommodating. Highly recommended!

This is the second year we’ve stayed at Athena’s place - and both have been absolutely fantastic. Great location, clean, spacious. Thank you - same time next year?

A lovely, peaceful place to stay in an excellent location, with a responsive host

Our stay at Alex's flat was perfect. It's exceptionally clean & comfortable, with modern appliances and appealing decor. My son, husband and I felt immediately at home. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals & wake up with tea/coffee. I slept so well I was on English time immediately, something I've never experienced before. I've stayed in several parts of London, but will always try to come back to Hampstead. The scenic & well appointed village is a minute from the flat. Everything we needed was less than a 5 mins away, but the flat feels quiet & secluded despite this proximity. Overground & Underground stations are easy walks. We used both, but mostly just wanted to head back to Hampstead. Hampstead Heath is breathtaking. Being right next to it was very special. Alex is an exceptional host. His messages were so welcoming. Home instructions were well organized. Messages about check-in/out were timely & clear. He was very responsive & helpful. Thank you, Alex!

We've stayed her 3-4 times now and it's great. We keep coming back because it's very comfortable. Unlike a lot of places the couch is comfy, as are the chairs and beds. We can cook dinner, pop downstairs to 2-3 different markets, plus several pubs and restaurants, and bring food back. The nearby pedestrian zone even has a Marks and Spence market that's very nice (think Whole Foods). The area is great. Two very convenient trains and several buses. We like to walk and often go through London Fields to Broadway market. Kingsland Road is good for Turkish food, an interesting African market and a Pret a Manger. The host, Zoe, is extremely responsive and helpful. Would definitely come back if we go back to Hackney again.

Super nice stay in Caroline's apartment. The communication beforehand was also very pleasant and customer oriented. Apartment really meets everything you need. Nice quiet neighborhood. Good bed! (Only the sofa in the living room where my son slept is a bit thin). Small but nice bathroom, full kitchen and even a washing machine. Super sweet also that there were breakfast and snacks ready. The concierge is very friendly. There was a misunderstanding about our arrival time, but after a phone call, he arrived right away. From the Apartment really very easy to travel by bus, metro or bike to all places in London. 1 point of attention to people with allergies such as dust mites, the apartment is a little less suitable because it is very English furnished - which is very cozy - but because of the many rugs - also attracts a lot of dust. Incidentally, the apartment is really very clean! We really enjoyed it very much! Thank you!

The stay at Suzy’s was great! The apartment is super clean and well equipped, especially when you need the space mainly for the night. Shoreditch it’s only 15min walk away and anyhow the bus station is right in front of the house, so we’ll connected to the rest of the city. Suzy was super kind and helpful all the steps of the way and communication was really smooth and quick, I def. recommend it for a short stay in LND

Great apartment in a convenient location and nice setup for working from home. Everything was nice and clean as well.

Amazing host and amazing Airbnb. She was so kind to us and provided everything we needed!

Deborah made me feel welcome from the moment I was in contact with her. She ensured that I arrived well and she always provided help and suggestions during my stay. The apartment is nice, the room was spacious for London standards and Deborah always welcomed me in her kitchen or the lounge. Very much enjoyed my time at her place.

I had an absolutely lovely time at Shirley's! Shirley was so welcoming and made me feel at ease and comfortable. It was lovely to stay with a host as a younger person traveling solo! The room was incredibly comfortable and well kept, the bread and fixings for breakfast were delicious, and it was so easy to get anywhere in London I wanted to go! Shirley was so kind, and I had a wonderful stay!

What a lovely Airbnb experience! Fiona was hospitable and friendly and chatting with her over breakfast each morning was lovely. We loved exploring this new neighborhood of London and would happily return.

Monica is a wonderful host, very welcoming and always ready to help and make the most of our journey. The house is as in the description, well equipped and quiet.

Elizabeth is a very thoughtful host. She responded promptly to my queries giving useful information. She was very welcoming and the room was comfortable and well equipped.

Great place! Clean home and Anamaria was very hospitable. The neighborhood is really nice and diverse. The Herne Hill transit station is a short walk away, taking you straight to Victoria where you can then transfer to other lines. Bus stops are in super close distance too. Loved the retail stores and restaurants in the area.

I very much enjoyed staying at Jackie's garden apartment. She was helpful with suggestions. Breakfast dishes were always placed out for me. Her garden was a welcome haven after a long day of walking. She was informative and friendly. Everything you would want or expect in a host. Thank you, Jackie, for a wonderful stay!

We loved our stay with Annie, Andrew and Stanley and would love to come back. The house has been lovingly restored and is beautifully decorated and furnished. We so enjoyed the delicious made to order breakfasts every morning that kept us going until dinner time. Stanley greeted us whenever we came and went and was a welcome surrogate for our own pup at home. The location is perfect - a short walk from the tube station and immediately across the street from beautiful Bishop’s Park. We truly can’t say enough about the Egmont Lodge and the warm welcome we received. Thank you so much Annie and Andrew.
