I have stayed in Nicole's place for two months as I worked in the City, so it was a lot more for me than just an Air B'n'B - it was actually my home. And, most importantly, it felt like my home away from home. Nicole and her flatmate are more than lovely and I am happy to be able to call them my friends.

The room is just as described - tranquil, spotlessly clean (as is the rest of the house) and looking out into some green patches within the big city. The rest of the flat is very stylish. In the afternoon the kitchen is especially gorgeous, as it is bathed in light. The front room with all its books is lovely and Nicole was always so nice to recommend a few books to me. The bathroom looks like it has been refurbished recently and is always spotlessly clean.

Also its location is brilliant - no more than a ten minutes walk to Hampstead Heath or Camden Town, for instance. Transport links to central London are within easy reach and don't despair if the Tube is on strike - you can always switch to the Thameslink, the bus, or simply walk.

I would definitely come back any time I am back in London. Kentish Town and the surrounding areas have a special vibe to them - an urban sprawl without being overcrowded and too busy. And my host is just superb. Thanks again for the incredible time! xx
