Ali wasn't able to meet us but his sister was extremely helpful. He should do something very nice for her. (:
Camden Town was great; lively action you could wander through but quite enough at night to get some rest. The DLR train was right behind the flat and you could hear it. It didn't run much between midnight and 5am but was quite regular the rest of the time.
We were a few blocks from a Tube stop (Northern Line) and one block to the DLR. The Sainsbury is a large grocer that is nearby, with some late night hours - great for when you're coming back late at night. In the area, we ate at Pizza Express (a little pricey for pizza), Woody Grill (great kabobs) and Poppies Fish n Chips (yummy).
The apartment is well represented in the photos and had just about everything we needed. We were anticipating the use of the washer and dryer, as listed in the amenities, but discovered upon arrival that they were locked up. We contacted Ali and he was nice about it in saying that guests usually request this ahead of time. Since it was listed under Amenities, we did not realize that would be necessary. The laundry around the corner charges 7.5 British pounds per load and they are not open on Sundays. That's not the best of conveniences when you're out sight-seeing all day and they are not open late.
While we did have one, Ali also provided an outlet converter for our US power cords. That's great planning! You can get a great shower in this spacious flat with big beds! We were well rested each night of our stay.
