I thoroughly enjoyed staying in Hilda's home! Though we didn't get to spend much time together (Hilda was on her way out to Scandinavia the night I arrived), Hilda was very nice and communicative, especially considering she accepted my reservation less than two-days before I arrived! She did have a house sitter staying, a lovely lady from Australia named Denise, and Denise and I got on very well over good conversation and red wine :-).

The house is wonderful. Hilda has all kinds of cool pieces hanging on her walls, from antique tools in the hallway to a variety of beads and necklaces in the toilet room. The room was cozy and the bed was very comfortable. I slept happily the nights I was there.

The neighborhood is very quiet yet only a five-minute walk to Kentish Town Station, so you are right off the Northern Line with easy access to Central London, and bustling Kentish Town Road.

I absolutely recommend staying at Hilda's if you are looking for an affordable, quiet room in a cool borough outside the chaos of the city center, but with easy access to the city. It's a great base to explore London from! Thanks so much, Hilda :-) (and Denise!)
