I had an incredibly lovely time on my week-long solo vaca in Sara and Ken’s spare room. The apartment was clean, bright, and colorful with beautiful plants everywhere. They even gifted me a bag of coffee after I mentioned I was a cliché caffeine-addicted New Yorker. Very thoughtful. During a small dinner party I got to try some of their homemade food which was also generous and delicious. The neighborhood was safe and fun to explore, as well as close to public transportation. Would definitely recommend for someone looking to have a low-key, quaint London experience, meaning the action is close if you need it, but I personally spent a lot of time enjoying the nearby pubs, cafes, restaurants, and venues. The vegetarian Indian restaurant called Rasa is some of the best Indian I’ve ever had, and my favorite coffee & breakfast came from The Last Crumb Cafe. Finally, a surprise discovery was a long walk in Abney Park... highly recommended if cemeteries don’t bother you ;)
Highly recommend staying here!
