We absolutely loved staying in Ahad's flat. As many others have said, the location is perfection. We easily accessed buses and the tube every day, which made our trip so much easier. The neighborhood is lovely- we enjoyed just walking around and going to the shops, the pubs, and the many restaurants in the area. We went to Primrose Hill one night for sunset (we had to take a bus because we left late, but it would be a nice walk) and it was magical, do it if you can. We ate at The Volunteer, just a few doors down, and enjoyed that too. We walked about 20 minutes to The Royal Oak for Sunday Roast and it was amazing!!
The flat is impeccably clean, cute, and compact. I was very thankful that the shower was hot and had great pressure, and that the bathroom was sleek and modern- I especially appreciated that there were lots of places to put our toiletries in there. Having the washer/dryer combo was very handy after a week of traveling, too. The small kitchen was perfect and we were able to store our leftovers there and each morning I could make breakfast and sit on the private terrace. I got to know the neighbors that way too, since their windows and fire escapes open onto it, but I kind of liked that part! My favorite was sitting out there at night with a cup of tea and listening to the sounds of the neighborhood while looking up at the night sky.
As far as owners, I don't know that I've encountered a more helpful, friendly, quick communicator than Ahad. From the time I booked months ago until the day we left, he was available whenever I asked for help. Like when we couldn't figure out how to best get home from the Harry Potter Studios, he DMed with me for over an hour and guided us safely on the train and tube. I hope to return and stay again and explore even more! Thanks, Ahad, for a wonderful stay!
