A nice, clean flat in the north part of Hampstead, adjacent to Golders Green, located away from the hustle and bustle of London but with convenient transport connections as well as free, off-street parking.
The flat is adjacent to the Old Bull and Bush pub which offers cooked food in case you don’t feel like cooking. There is a well equipped kitchen in case you do feel like cooking. It’s a few minutes’ walk to nice open spaces: Hampstead Heath Extension and Golders Hill Park.
The flat is on a quiet residential street on the edge of Hampstead Heath with nice views of trees. Although we didn’t meet Sean the host, he was available to meet if we needed anything.
Unlike many Airbnbs that lack personality and are sterile, this flat is someone’s home, so there are personal touches such as pictures and books that make the flat feel like a home than an impersonal, corporate hotel.
The free off-street parking is a valuable asset as street parking is limited and expensive.
The description accurately mentions that the TV is in the bedroom. This means going to the bedroom if you want to watch TV, as there is no TV in the living room.
The flat is located above a busy tube tunnel and we heard a repetitive, low volume background noise from underground trains. Some people may not notice the noise, but it’s one of those things that once you notice it, you keep hearing it.
Note that the bed is a normal double bed and not a king size bed (as stated in the listing at the time we made our booking).
All in all it’s a nice place to stay that’s convenient for access to Hampstead and central London.
