Melanie's place was perfect in almost every way except for one crucial area: the temperature was unbelievably cold. Kentish Town is a lively, warm-hearted place, and the tube station is well-connected to every part of London, including the major tourist sites. Melanie's suggestions for restaurants, bars, pubs, etc were all excellent. Kentish Town is also close to Hampstead Heath, a beautiful large park perfect to visit at any time of year. Melanie's flat was decorated in a stylish and tasteful way. The bathroom and loo were also nicely designed to be comfortable. The bed was extremely comfortable and the view was gorgeous.
However, the temperature of the flat was miserably cold and made our stay physically uncomfortable. Melanie did supply a small fan heater for the bedroom, but as a result we were mostly confined to that room, because it was the only room that wasn't freezing cold. My mother and I had to wear coats and jackets to eat breakfast in the morning, and even then we were shivering constantly. At the end of our stay at Melanie's place my mother caught a nasty cold because her immune system was so run down by the icy temperature of the flat.
Unless the heating issue is fixed, I would not recommend Melanie's place to international travellers accustomed to international standards of room temperature. Temperatures above 20 °C are a necessary standard of care for the elderly and people with disabilities. So I would urge Melanie to start heating the flat adequately for her guests, as the current temperatures are highly exclusionary and can compromise health.
