We are a family of 5 and stayed for 3x days at Guy’s house. We found our stay enjoyable but also there were some areas that could be improved, I’ve listed pros and cons below.
Pros: The area is great, a short bus ride from King’s Cross station, tubes running from Tuffnell Park or Kentish Town (10 min walk) and walking distance to Camden. Close to conveniences (cafés, bakery, supermarkets etc.) all within walking distance. The area feels nice and residential. Living room and kitchen are nice, comfortable, clean and great for a family stay. Friendly host.
Cons: The bed in the 2nd bedroom was small and uncomfortable, dipping in the middle. The bed linen was a bit old (my pillowcase had a stain on it). Felt a bit basic for the price. Welcoming touches could be added to make the stay more pleasant (there were no hand towels next to basins, bath mat, coffee machine, restaurant/area recommendations etc.) and it felt that there was a big focus on telling guests not to break the rules of the house and not to make noise (multiple emails with words like VERY IMPORTANT bolded and in capitals etc. also signs within the house). It didn’t leave us with a very welcoming feeling.
