We had a great stay at David‘s place. His flat has a lot of unique amenities, and we needed a bit of handholding to get everything working at the outset, and he proved to be both extremely responsive and extremely patient in getting everything like the Internet and the satellite television, and the exercise equipment working for us.
This part of London is less touristed. We found it to be nicely located, and we enjoyed walking on the Regents canal, as well as walking over to spend an afternoon lazing around Hampstead Heath (where there are also swimming ponds). There’s also a really nice little park right across the road from David’s place: Caledonian Park. We also had numerous meals at a fabulous vegan restaurant: Mildreds King’s Cross.
A couple reviewers have mentioned that the master bedroom does overlook a schoolyard, and the kids do come out periodically throughout the day and make a lot of noise. My advice if you’re coming from North America would be to arrive on a Friday morning, and that way you will have a few days to adjust to UK time while school is not in session. Overall, I would have no hesitation about recommending the flat. We found the other two bedrooms to be very quiet, and the beds are very comfortable and rooms have blackout shades. Thanks David!
