To sum up the primary advantage of this accommodation, we would say, "location, location, location." A block from the Swiss Cottage tube station and a shopping high street, three blocks from two charming village areas, and in a quiet residential neighborhood, the location just can't be beat.
This AirBnB accommodation is a private, modestly sized bedroom and small, private (though not en suite) bath. The remainder of the space in the flat is shared with the host.
The bedroom features a chest of drawers and small armoire and is ventilated with a large window that opens. Decor is simple and pleasant. The bed is a US double bed, which is something that, perhaps, many American couples might find small--we did. It is comfortable, however, with a memory-foam topper and very nice linens.
The bathroom is small, although large enough for a small vanity with vessel sink, a toilet (snug fit), and a small shower with a rain shower head and handheld head, offering ample soaps and shampoos. Everything in the bathroom feels new and it was quite clean, although the exhaust fan did not work during our visit, making for a somewhat steamy shower time (the vanity mirror, however, is lighted and heated, so you can always use it for your post-shower needs).
The flat is a third-floor walkup, and the entryway itself is one flight up from the sidewalk, making altogether for a vigorous workout to reach the flat's front door. Liga's description is accurate in this regard, but it's worth emphasizing since the building is charming but old, and the stairway is a bit winding and tricky to negotiate. There is no elevator.
The flat itself feels quite modern and renovated, and the sitting room and kitchen are shared with the owner/host. The kitchen is quite modern as well, and the host offers the use of all kitchen amenities. The flat is sparklingly clean throughout.
The host is kind and quite accommodating, always communicative, and through her efforts made our stay quite pleasant. She is generally out during the day, so even though the accommodation is shared, the flat is usually quiet. Our overall impression was that this accommodation would be ideal for a single traveler, while we, as a couple, generally felt a bit cramped. Nonetheless, if this part of London is where you would like to center your activities, then we would definitely recommend this accommodation for all the reasons noted above.
