We were not very happy with Lina's studio flat in Muswell Hill. To be fair, Lina does describe it as small, and does give you the dimensions- in square metres. Perhaps that was part of the problem- even though Canadians switched to the metric system over 30 years ago, we still reckon room and overall house/apartment size in square feet (as do Americans); so it's hard to visualize just how small a 20 sq, m, space is. If I'd done my due diligence and done the math, I would have realized that Lina's "studio flat" is the same size as my bedroom, which is 17 x 13.5 ft. (a modest-sized master bedroom by N. American standards) and I might have questioned just where on earth there would be space for a bathroom and kitchenette in a 20 sq. m. room. The answer to that question is that there really isn't: You can stuff these in, by squeezing the bed (with about 5 cm. of clearance) between one of the original walls and the plasterboard you've put up to create a tiny bathroom, but what you end up with are cramped sleeping quarters (although as noted, the bed is very comfortable) and a tiny cramped bathroom. (BTW, flushing the toilet activates an awesomely noisy "macerator"- a device normally used to process sewage on boats). There's no place to hang your wet towels, space only for a couple of chairs in the room (I refuse to call it a "flat"), poor ventilation, and oh yes, a front door that is poorly fitted, so only opens with difficulty and can only be locked from the inside with a key. The unit is very clean though. Muswell Hill is indeed a wonderful neighborhood- that was the big attraction for us- but for a week-long stay, this just isn't a comfortable space (We realized we were avoiding coming "home" until late each night). For a couple of nights though, I would say that it's good budget accommodation.
