We had a very pleasant stay at June’s place and we enjoyed meeting her. Actually, we thought that it was a shame that we didn’t see each other more often than just once, at our arrival.
On the other hand, instead of just a bedroom and shared facilities we had the whole flat to ourselves, as June had decided to take a short break from London. Communication about this plan went smoothly, and upon arrival we were very well instructed about everything in the flat, including Monty the cat.
As for company, we had to content ourselves with his presence, which was very pleasant. As we had agreed to take care of him, we can also say that he is an easygoing as well as very outgoing cat.
In case you want to be a bit away from the crowds, hilly and green Hampstead is an excellent location, with the heath almost around the corner. While there are still good connections by tube and (night) bus to and from central London. And as a bonus: travelling in the northern parts, and going as far as Richmond and Epping Forest is made very easy thanks to the nearby station of the London Overground.
So, our experience is probably not completely representative. However, since it is also possible to rent the whole flat (with two bedrooms), we can confirm that this seems to be a very nice option and that, in our view, the flat contains everything that is required for a pleasant stay.
