Mike's home is a beautifully designed surprisingly spacious cottage in a really accessible part of beautiful Highgate. The place has clearly been designed as a cosy, intelligently reworked living space and we thoroughly enjoyed our couple of nights. Mike is charming and easy going, and his beagle Marley is exquisitely behaved and a pleasure, even if you're not really a dog person. (there's no intrusive barking and he's very gentle).
The house is set well back from the room and the bedroom is quiet and well appointed. It is up one flight of stairs. Mike is generous with his home, allowing us access to everywhere and the house is positioned really well so excellent places to eat etc are just a short walk up the road. This is quite a find, and I think fabulous value in an expensive part of london.
