The house is was spotless, from the carpets to the ceiling. Lovely American-style fridge, big kitchen table for family-dining, nice decking and garden. Modern heating system and thermostat, and the house is a few minutes from Totteridge tube, very well situated. We managed to lock ourselves out and Aki came immediately to help out, and was a real pleasure to deal with. All in all, this was exactly the experience we hoped it would be, and the house served as the perfect base.
