This flat is very large for London standards and it was very close to a market, restaurants and the tube stop. Highgate is a quiet community in the London area. On the first night we were there a neighbor had a holiday party which wasn't unexpected this time of the year (December) but generally the area is very quiet. The beds were very comfy and there were nice fluffy white towels and a good selection of kitchen equipment to make you feel at home. The additional great room and gym on the top floor was a welcoming space for our family. The large TV had Netflix so we could log into our own account to watch shows/ movies when we were at the flat. The additional toilet in the gym was a bonus with our family of 4. Lou and his staff were good communicators when we had some issues with the freezer not working properly and some cleanliness issues but overall we enjoyed this flat and would stay here again esp. since we have family in the Highgate area of London. Lou also provided great instructions on how to access the flat and how things worked in the flat. December is a great time to visit London with the holiday lights, winter carnivals and a lower amount of visiting tourists. Believe it or not we only had one day of slight rain during our 8 day visit.
