What great value compared to previous places we have stayed in or the selection that was on offer for the same price on Airbnb.

This was our first stay in someone else's place for the first two weeks of August for a family wedding on the 8th.

We quickly relaxed in the spacious open plan layout enjoying the personal touches of what is obviously a happy family home - books,plants and pictures - equipped with all the "home from home" items you need.

What a contrast to impressive exteriors which inside often have "could be anywhere" rooms - overrated,overcharged and overlooked.

It was nice not to have to draw the curtains as front and rear aspect full length windows were not overlooked.

If you need more than a base to sleep & wash in & need to unwind,recharge & live like Londoners - then this is ideal.

If you feel like being "Ritzy" and can afford it please please leave this for those of us who prefer this style.

Safe & secure you enter from the first floor away from the street,quiet having no disturbing constant noisy traffic.

The downstairs opens to the rear courtyard,a table & seats in the sun surrounded by plants sheltered by high walls on all sides.The pruned trees and single story duplex over the end wall means a pleasant outlook from both levels. Very private,there was no one around to be seen or heard.

Solidly built,well insulated & ventilated,it was certainly quiet. We slept very well.

The front door being half way along the wide walkway for the residents of that floor means few pass by. Very handy for coming and going via the security gates (with entry phone) at either end. A short walk - bus stops on Albany St. - around the corner pass the mansions of Chester Terrace - who knows who has stepped out of which house? These overlook the wonderful Regents Park -the rose garden a "must." Its paths take you to Fitzrovia & Oxford St. Alternatively a few paces gets you to Hampstead Rd - buses to everywhere - a short cut to Euston Station through St James's Garden,cosmopolitan eating places & just before Warren Street Tube & McD's theres a well stocked Sainsbury's ( A tip,- fewer office workers on Sat&Sun means that around 16:30-20:30 there are many reduced food bargains)

The Wifi/hub needed rebooting one day,caused we found out by nearby work on road pipes & telegraph poles.
Constant hot water,useful utility room and drying racks,handy upstairs wc.
More than enough room for us 3, 5 wouldn't be in each other's way either.
We would stay here any time of the year & can only hope it's not booked up when we next visit.
