Nick responded very quickly to my last- minute booking and was very hospitable. The location is great- close to Finchley central tube station and shops. The room itself is sweet, spacious, warm and nicely decorated with a comfy double size bed. Might not be great if you're a light sleeper due to close proximity to trains (although the host thoughtfully provided ear stoppers) but I'd definitely recommend the room and the host, and stay there again.
