The apartment at first was a little odd and took some getting used to but we came to love it's idiosyncrasies in the brief few days we were there. On the plus side it is ideally placed with lovely glimpses of London as you meander down the hill to get a morning breakfast. It's within walking distance of Archway and buses so getting into London itself is easy and it's the perfect place to relax on the small patio with a glass of wine after the mayhem of the city. Some useful tips for those intending to stay here... the shower, though powerful enough, drains very slowly so it's advisable to make sure the water is hot enough or you'll receive a cold foot bath initially on entry; beds are subjective things I know and though I like a hard mattress, for me these beds were on the very hard side; if you have a car, parking is uncontrolled except between 10-12 weekdays and you can only pay for 1.5 hours in the same location so you need to move the car to be sure to escape a ticket. Not a problem if you're in our around the apartment but no good for heading into London. Highgate station though has a small carpark and we paid the very reasonable £6 all day charge while we went to see the sights.
So the important question I always have is would I stay here again and the answer is yes. We really loved the place and were sorry to be leaving. It's in a beautiful area opposite Highgate cemetery, very quiet, close to amenities and the provided easy access to the target of my stay. It ticks the boxes for me.
