Communication with Niamh was very informative and helpful before hand. In case either of us was delayed in arrival, Niamh left our key with a lovely neighbour. So when we arrived early, and parked opposite the house (free parking in London :) ), we were able to leave all our stuff in the flat before going off shopping in Camden !
The flat was as described, immaculately clean and tidy, yet welcoming and two lovely cats. When we finally met Niamh, she was welcoming and friendly, and if we were not already, made us feel at ease. We had a cupboard in the kitchen for our food, and a shelf in the fridge. Niamh showed us where everything was kept in the kitchen and there was a lovely little balcony to eat out on too. The flat seemed so light and airy, that it reminded me of a special flat I stayed in San Francisco many years ago. We had plenty of space in the bedroom for our clothes and shopping!!! The bed was very comfortable too.
I knew the neighbourhood from growing up here, and after being away for 30 years, it seemed even better. The lovely tree lined road, and seeing all the young family's wandering off to the local parks was really nice. We even had a couple of chats with some of the neighbours! I can always remember Frances Road being very busy with cars, it was definitely a lot quieter with speed restrictions in place, it could have been a small village street as it was so peaceful.
I can always remember being able to get around easy, but with all the changes since the Olympics and the East bound Jubilee line being finished, me and my daughter found it so easy getting around to all the markets we wanted to visit, meeting up with old friends, and travel to the gigs we had booked in the evening.
I will definitely be staying here again :)
