We (two adults and two children 7 & 3) spent two weeks at Neil’s lovely flat in Tufnell Park/Gospel Oak and it was fantastic! We could not have asked for a better place to base ourselves in London.
Neil was extremely helpful and kind right from the start and throughout our stay. Promptly responding to my messages and helping us whenever we needed something. He even sent a message to us to let us know that the trains will be disrupted due to a strike on the day we were supposed to leave.
The flat is in a great location near Hampstead Heath. Lovely cafes and pubs nearby (although we didn’t really get to enjoy many of them with kids). There are no major supermarkets nearby but there are local shops that sell the basics. The rest we ordered online and had them delivered to us.
Relatively close (10 mins walk with kids) to both tube and overground so you can get anywhere in London easily. The only thing is Tufnell Park station has steps to get to the platform so if you have a buggy it’s a bit annoying.
The flat is beautifully decorated and clean. It was great to have access to the garden particularly on hot days (we were there for the hottest day ever recorded in London). Neil even let us use his hose pipe so the kids could splash about in the garden. Inside the flat was nice and cool and Neil had provided fans so we had no issues during those hot days.
We made the full use of their washing machine and dish washer as well as the kitchen. The kitchen is well equipped and clean. Having two bathrooms (a shower room and a bathroom) was also great so the kids could have a bath.
Thank you Neil for our wonderful stay and we hope to be back again next year!
