We enjoyed an extended stay at Emrah's lovely apartment due to overrunning works on our apartment nearby. Our host was most understanding and attentive. It is a spacious, airy third-floor apartment very tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, with a well equipped kitchen for long-term stays (and an impressive electric guitar collection!). Ideal for families or those on work or study-related stays, this is a very quiet, safe apartment with a bright work station. Located on the third floor of of a modern block in Dollis Hill (one of the highest points in London), guests can enjoy treetop views over rooftops to the west, right to the surrey hills on a clear day, particularly nice at sunset. The flat is surrounded by beautiful trees and shrubbery so you wake to the sound of birds, a rare treat in London! We know the area well but for those who don't, it is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is steps away from beautiful Gladstone Park with its walled garden and charming Stables Cafe (open Wed-Sun from 09.00-16.00). It is also a 10-minute walk over the North Circular to the Welsh Harp - an expansive open space, which is a twitcher's delight, and is great for foraging, cycling, watching sailing regattas and the occasional spectacular sunset. This unassuming part of London also has very interesting wartime history (close to Churchill's secret bunker and the building where the code-breaking Colossus was built - the world's first programmable computer). Although located a little further out, it has good connections to central London on the Jubilee line, plus easy access to the M1 by car and bus routes to the pubs and restaurants of Willesden Green, Cricklewood and Kilburn and Brent Cross shopping centre.
