Izabela was great — she arrived on time, was very professional, and cleaned everything really well. The flat looks excellent and I'm very happy with the service. I'd definitely recommend her and would love to have her again.

There is no better. She even found a free gift that had fallen behind the bed 3 years ago and it had not been located by anyone else!

Had a very lovely experience with Agnes today. I booked the regular cleaning to help me with a spring clean and she did a great job, especially with the sofas and chairs. She was very polite and respectful and she helped me with everything I asked from her.

Melanie

Finsbury (WC1X)

My room had gotten to a point where I felt completely overwhelmed and couldn’t handle it on my own, and the Housekeeper stepped in and completely transformed the space in such a short amount of time. She was incredibly thorough, and went far beyond what I expected. On top of that, she was so kind, understanding, and non-judgmental. I’m very grateful for her help, and the result was amazing. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.

Local information about Barbican

Barbican, or 'the Barbican Estate', is a sprawling housing complex located within the City of London. The Barbican is home to over 2000 flats, houses and maisonettes in the EC1 area.

The area, formerly known as Cripplegate, was largely wiped out during the Blitz attacks of the Second World War. In the post-war years, there were extensive discussions about how to rebuild the area, which eventually resulted in the development of the now iconic Barbican Estate. The tower blocks and apartments that stand today were built during the 1960s and 1970s, and were originally targeted at city professionals. In the years since, the area has remained popular with city workers who are keen to live in Central London, just a stone's throw from the financial district.

Barbican is famous for its unusual Brutalist aesthetic, and is the home to multiple culturally significant organisations, including the Museum of London, the Barbican Centre and Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

The Barbican Estate has a population of 4000 people, which is over half of the population of the City of London district.

The Barbican tube station is serviced by the Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines, with more transport options available at the nearby Farringdon, Moorgate, St. Pauls and Liverpool Street stations.
