Rosaleen's apartment is warm, inviting, and comfortable. It is very well-situated -- only a short walk from the Finchley Road station and traveling to and from the apartment was so easy. The room was amply big enough for myself, and I could easily see two people staying there comfortably as well. The bed was very clean and comfortable and the private bathroom was also clean and well-stocked with towels, toilet paper, and toiletries. Water warmed up quickly, there's a towel warmer in the bathroom (I love those!), and the apartment was warm even on cold days.
It's in their own, family apartment, so the common spaces are in use all the time, but that was one of the best parts of my stay anyway. I was traveling alone and it made my trip even more enjoyable to stay with a family while I was away from my own.
Rosaleen, Ronnie, and Louis are generous and kind hosts -- they were always friendly and up for a chat, offered me tea whenever I saw them, and were extremely flexible in letting me check in early (much needed after my red-eye flight) and leave my luggage on my last day while I made some last-minute tourist stops. While making the arrangements, Rosaleen was also always very quick to respond to all of my messages and answer any question about the apartment and giving me helpful directions. I would stay with them again in a heartbeat!
