I rented this apartment as an “entire apartment” stay.
The apartment is light and airy, to the point that even in October it was a bit too bright to sit by the window and work (A good “problem” to have! - and the breakfast bar is shadier if you need to work)
The weather turned cold during my stay but the apartment stayed warm and comfortable: no issue with feeling chilly as can happen in London homes. Plenty of hot water too (though I was only person staying).
Check-in and departure was no-hassle at all: the address was easy to find and we used a key box to get in.
Nearby Green Lanes has everything you need for essentials: Boots pharmacy, Sainsbury’s local, nail bars, dry cleaners, pizza delivery etc. I had a visitor one evening and we decided to try a Cypriot restaurant, Nissa, which was a 15 minute walk: would highly recommend. I also tried a local cafe, Kiva, at Julia’s recommendation, which was great and only about 5 minutes walk from the property. The area is slightly low on pubs, but there was a buzzy wetherspoons and we tried Kosovan beer at the local Albanian cafe which stays open late. The city of London is a 50 minute commute (which is normal for London); East London is closer (via Old Street on the train) is closer if you’re in search of a busy night out or vintage shopping etc
The apartment itself is tastefully decorated and “well appointed” to use an old fashioned expression! I didn’t cook at “home” given the good local options but the kitchen seemed to have everything you’d need. Everything was clean and Julia had left helpful notes. She was also easily contactable to ask questions
There are two beautiful cats at the property, who are friendly and low maintenance (they have a cat flap).
To sum up: I needed to be in the area for a family event but also have access to central London for work. I was pleased to pick this property for my stay: it was super comfortable and it’s proximity to the high street (Green Lanes) was convenient.
