Absolutely wonderful. My husband grew up not far from Crouch End and we have always frequented the cafes and restaurants. This is a very safe and culturally rich neighbourhood. Transportation to different parts of London is very good. I managed to use the above ground rail to visit family in the West of London and was amazed by the service. We used buses daily to Tottenham and Edmonton and never waited more than 5 minutes for a bus. Crouch End is very accessible by public transport. After a long day visiting my mother in law in hospital it was wonderful to see a beautiful fox peering at us through the window. It was also good to be able to stop for dinner in the many restaurants, pubs, or simply pick up something from M&S on our way back to Sarah's apartment.
Sarah's apartment is spacious and tasteful, has everything you could possibly need. Sarah provided a book with detailed information on travel, restaurants and tourist attractions, locally and further afield. She has been very thoughtful in providing bus schedules and restaurant menus.
We have stayed at several Airbnb apartments in this area and we feel this tops them all. If you are pondering a trip to London, consider this Airbnb. We no longer live in the UK, but when we return here this has a true British feel; not touristy, just nice people who acknowledge others and are vested in their community.
