The flat was in an ideal location, on a quiet street yet only two blocks from the High Street. We were amazed by how quiet it could be, with only songbirds in the back gardens in the morning! We went out several evenings for performances in the neighborhood and only had a short walk home. Regent's Park is only a few minutes walk, and was a favourite place for us. The Parkway and the High Street are full of eateries and food shops, and Kerstin left a list with her top recommendations.
We stayed over the Easter bank holidays and had a Northern line service disruption for half our stay; to my surprise, this was not a problem at all. There are many buses through the neighborhood (within 3-5 minutes walk) and they come quite regularly.
I traveled with my 14-year-old daughter and stayed for 8 nights. During our visit we stayed upstairs from Kerstin's home (the flat pictured in the listing), but this was arranged in advance of our arrival. Kerstin sent along photos so that I knew what to expect of the space. When we arrived I saw a flat full of sunshine, and there were daffodils in couple of vases that would open during our stay. Chocolate rabbits were a festive treat and sweet surprise. It was a simply furnished and comfortable flat, with the kitchen essentials we needed and clean linens. We each had our own sunny bedrooms (equipped with good window covers if you prefer a dark room), and slept very soundly. The larger bedroom had wardrobes with enough space for all our things.
Throughout the booking process Kerstin replied promptly to all of my communications. I had many questions, large to small, and she answered in detail so that I felt well prepared (and confident I chose the right home). Our check-in was flexible and very easy: Kerstin's friend Michelle who lives nearby met us at the house with a very warm welcome, and I was provided with her contact details at least a week in advance so I could text when we were on the way.
It was very windy during our stay, and I texted Kerstin to ask if there might be extra blankets. The flat was a comfortable temperature, but I was being cautious. She quickly arranged for a friend to bring blankets from the downstairs flat for us, and I appreciated that she was easy to reach even while traveling herself. Kerstin and Rhys returned from their travels a few days later, in the middle of our stay, and checked to see that we were comfortable and happy. They were great at checking in by text, letting me know they were available if needed.
We had a wonderful visit and look forward to returning to Camden Town as soon as possible.
