About this apartment rental
Offering slick city living in the heart of Barbican, this contemporary gem is the perfect base in which to explore eclectic east London. Sleeping up to three guests, it’s only a short hop from vibrant Shoreditch, famed for its chic cocktail bars, vintage boutiques and inspired food scene. On a tight schedule and keen to cover off London’s most iconic landmarks? Minutes from Liverpool Street Underground and National station, convenient transport links to the city centre add even further allure to this effervescent home. Barbican and Moorgate Underground stations are also close at hand...
An exuberant dose of deep lilac emboldens the open-plan living area with a vibrant energy. Ebullient in its colour scheme, the furnishings and artwork usher in an element of contrast against the clean lines of the ceilings and walls. Chandelier lighting adds to the air of contemporary cool, while an additional single sleeping space is provided in the form of a pull-down Murphy bed.
A medley of monochrome greets you in the modern kitchen; another example of how the recent renovations of this home have combined to deliver an impressive showcase in contemporary living. Here, guests can truly enjoy the benefit of a thoroughly modernised property.
With its notes of yin and yang, and mellow lighting, the master suite is instantly restful and offers a plush king-sized bed, bedside tables and generous wardrobe. As masterfully monochromatic as the rest of the apartment, the bathroom offers a combined bath and shower. Here, you can freshen up before an eventful morning exploring the iconic Brutalist architecture of the Barbican, home to a thriving and experimental arts scene. Classical architecture more to your taste? Stroll a little further to take in the Baroque beauty of St Paul’s Cathedral with its totemic dome a timeless feature of the London skyline for over 300 years.

We enjoyed our stay. The only issue we had was the washer/drier...couldn't get it to work properly and just don't think it was explained properly at check in.
Additional toilet paper in the apartment would also be nice.

Everything was wonderful. We loved the apartment and it was clean, spacious, and well equipped. Safe environment and in the middle of great cultural centers like the Barbican center. We will definitely come back here again! The host who met us was right on time, was friendly and polite, and showed us all we needed to know. Great experience!

Stylish modern apartment, pretty close to the underground. Bathroom is really nice as well. Everything is as described and most people in the reviews mentioned the management company that handles check in and check out - so no surprise there. Overall it was a great stay

Recommended!
We had a great stay at this flat. They were very responsive as well as the agency he used to help coordinate (Veeve). It was perfect for three adults since there was a Murphy bed. The location was super convenient. I would recommend it!!

“Great location!! Very interesting and cool architecture. Great Veeve service but definitely read the host manual as soon as you get there for some tips and tricks. We enjoyed the local feel and the shared space. Perfect holiday getaway!”

Comfortable stay
We stayed for 4 nights in April, the place was clean, quiet, nicely decorated, beds were extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. It was close to the Moorgate tube station and easy to find with well-set up check-in. We would definitely stay again and recommend this anyone else. Thanks again for the great stay!

Fantastic location
It was a clean great apartment in a great location. I have nothing negative to say. We had a great stay. The agency is very responsive. The only negative thing I would add is that the late check-in fee is rather expensive and the check-in and check-out times are inflexible. If you know you will be out by 10am and will be able to check in between 3pm - 9pm I would definitely pick this place. We had a great time.
