I needed to find a place in Muswell Hill where I could spend a solid week while visiting relatives who have no spare beds. My requirements were a privacy, my own bath, and a large bed so that my husband could join me for a few days at the end of my visit. "Nice to haves" included space for all my belongings so I wasn't living straight out of a suitcase, and a nice aspect (a bit of light and fresh air). I'd never tried AirBnB before, but I dislike the hotels in Muswell HIll so much that I thought I'd take a chance on it. I'm so glad I did! I found everything I was looking for and more in NIcky's welcoming home. The room is charming and spotlessly clean, there's a TV with tons of cable channels for those jetlagged late nights and really good wifi for all those necessary communications and work. The bed is comfortable, the pillows good, and the bathroom has a lovely deep tub as well as a shower. It's charming, and I instantly felt at home. Nicky is a friendly, generous hostess, and I felt well looked after. Her house is a family house with a lot of comings and goings during the day and evening, but it didn't bother me because the room and bath are separate and private and at night it's very quiet and peaceful. The location is great - a short walk from everything. Warning: Nicky puts REALLY tasty cookies out with the coffee and tea things. If you're at all susceptible, as I am, beware! I visit Muswell HIll regularly. Next time I go, I hope Nicky will have room for me again.
