I booked this place for my parents and brother so have got them to write the review however I will add that the hosts were great. They left clear instructions, were very helpful with where and when to pick up the key and made us feel very welcome to call if there was ever an issue (which there wasn't)- Our Christmas/ New Year retreat was fantastic. A short walk from Camden tube meant after a day exploring London and dead on our feet, it was great knowing we could fall onto a comfy sofa and unwind within minutes of our return. It was a very homely/comfortable place, 2 double bedrooms upstairs, so can sleep 4 and has a lovely open planned area downstairs with the kitchen/dining room and lounge. There is no oven just a cook top, but we were in holiday mode so cooking wasn't on our agenda much, Camden is 'foodie paradise' so who needs an oven?
Only drawback I can think of was the spiral staircase, which was more like a fireman's pole! A bit hard to negotiate at first but we mastered it.
If you can get your head around that, I can't think of any negatives! it's the perfect base for a holiday in the glorious Capital! This place will suit slender to medium/average sized people, if you describe yourself as on the 'chubby' side, then maybe not. It was perfectly situated near the heart of London, only a few stops on the underground to West End alternatively, walking through Regents Park was another option.
Camden was a delight to us Kiwis with its vibrant lifestyle and the best markets in the world, an abundance of delightful cafes and restaurants right on our doorstep. If you like 'quirky' you'll love Camden.
