What a fantastic experience!
It’s listed as “a spare room” but we felt like we were staying in a chic, private cottage. Really amazing!
The apartment is at the end of the garden and has its own gate onto the street so we could come and go without disturbing anyone.
The owners were really friendly, and both fellow cyclists who let us keep our bikes in the garden, safely off the road. (Bikes left on lampposts overnight don’t last long in London).
The garden is big by London standards and well looked after. It was a shame the weather was so terrible, otherwise it would have been a lovely place to have our morning coffees.
Inside felt a bit like a boutique hotel room.
Everything is brand-new and spotlessly clean.
Although compact, it squeezes in an excellent en suite bathroom, a kitchenette and a table for eating and working. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. The underfloor heating kept us toasty even though the temperature hit below zero one of the nights we were there.
The location was awesome: a classic London street just down the road from Amy Winehouse’s home, with lots of fantastic pubs and bars. Camden Town, King’s Cross/St Pancras are all within walking distance.
We will definitely be staying again!
