This was our family’s first trip to London and the comfort and relaxed environment of this lovely flat made us feel very much at home. We tried to do a lot in a “foreign land” in a week’s time while visiting, so it was nice to have such a comfortable, familiar refuge during our down time and as settled in for the night. Traveling with three teenage daughters puts many demands on us and the flat met all of them. For them to be able to retreat to the secluded quiet of the back garden was a special treat. We found the Kentish Town neighborhood to be an eclectic and diverse pocket of the city with an interesting mix of Brit and grit. We are from the New York area, so we were quite comfortable in this setting. Travelers from more rural points of origin may feel differently but we liked the energy. Our host was accommodating and very forthcoming with tips and information about the flat and the city that helped make our trip more enjoyable.
