What a treasure to come across in one of those beautiful quiet leafy back streets of Belsize Park, just a few minutes' walk from the tube station, and then a short ride into the centre of London. AND not all that far from the wonderful urban 'wilderness' of Hampstead Heath!
What I assumed would be a single bedroom turned out to be part of a small and delightful flat! With its own entrance, large bright bathroom, lovely living room, and even my own kitchen for those nights when I felt like giving London restaurants a miss. No shortage of great food shops and mini-markets in Belsize Park and Belsize Village nearby.
Chris' office was part of 'my' flat, but he kept such a low profile I hardly even knew he was there - and he was a most kind and considerate host, cheerful and welcoming: he even looked up some film training courses for me in Edinburgh, where I live, after we discussed our common work in documentary film.
I would definitely recommend staying with Chris and Renata to visitors passing through London, and I look forward to staying there again myself!
