Mike was warm and welcoming. He is an extraordinarily beautifully natured person, he felt available for any questions/ information that I may have needed to make my stay more enjoyable/ relaxing. His room is exactly as shown/described. It has a calm feel to it as does the whole space. There is almost no sound from outside in the room. It is in a remarkably vibrant part of London. The Guardian building is close by with free exhibitions, there are lovely little no-chain places to drink coffee and eat, and quite a funky bar scene near and on the canal. There is a pret-a manger over the road ( for freshly made that salads in a fast food kind of setting ) The canal is stunning. You can walk to Camden Market along the canal in 20 minutes. This is a stay where you can immerse yourself in London culture and find sanctuary to re-charge. I had a nourishing stay. The place feels safe. I would definitely recommend Mikes place as a bedrock of sanctuary in a vibrant community.
