This is a wonderful place to stay. It is away from highly touristy areas--in the north of London--and is close to public transportation for those who wish to go downtown.

Nicky is a kind and welcoming host, and the room itself is delightful. Although it is part of Nicky's own home, it is private (and the door can be locked), and we found it to be very quiet. (We, too, made sure to be respectfully quiet.) Nicky introduced us to the accommodations when we arrived, and when we didn't run into one another, we communicated via notes. (Nicky was kind enough to book our taxi back to the airport on our behalf.)

The room and ensuite are spotlessly clean and as shown in the photo; there are even supplies for breakfast, along with tea and coffee choices and delicious cookies. The flat screen tv gives access to myriad channels, and while it was too chilly on our visit to use the adjoining patio, it is quite lovely.

We were in London for a friend's wedding, and as it happens, Nicky's accommodation is very close to their home, making it an easy walk to the gatherings that preceded the wedding itself. But when my husband and I come back to London, I suspect we will want to stay here again--even if we plan to head further in to the city for museums and the like.

And by the way: The Muswell Hill neighborhood, in which this rental is located, has delightful shops and restaurants. In all, this is a terrific place to stay for two persons.
