Catherine is a lovely host and responds almost instantly. She is friendly and puts you at ease immediately. Our stay went very smoothly without any problems. Check in was a breeze as was our check out; and we had a late one, which we really appreciated. We also had fruit, milk, tea, coffee and all cooking and bathroom essentials provided.
The location of the flat is great for transport. The bus stop is literally outside the entrance, and there are 2 tube stations 10-15min walk away. Plus an overground station. We were very well connected to get right into the centre as well as further up north towards Hampstead, where we like to go for walks. I also loved that there are 2 convenience stores (one of them is a 24 hr one and the other opens till 1am) and a fishmonger right across the road. As well as a few restaurants and delis. Many thanks to Catherine for recommending the little Italian deli where we got inexpensive and hearty takeaway pasta when I didn't feel like cooking.
Catherine's flat itself is clean, bright, charming and homely, and very spacious for 2. The bed was very comfortable and my son was very happy sleeping on the airbed in the study, which actually is the size of a bedroom. And the large study desk was great as my son had to put in some revision. The shower had a decent pressure and there was hot water upon demand. The flat can get a bit cold when temperatures dip, and they did for a few of the days out of the week we were there. The kitchen is a real kitchen and you have all the proper utensils to turn out a proper meal.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Catherine's flat and would return in a heartbeat.
