I went to London for three days with my girlfriend for our anniversary. Melanie has a very nice place in Kentish Town, undoubtfully one of the greatest area of London, very close to bus stops and tube, you can find amazing places to eat, a breakfast at Renoir Café or a pint at The Oxford are mandatory!, or have a walk to Camden and Regent's Park, just few minutes away. I'm biased though, I used to live in Kentish Town and I left a bit of my heart there.
The exterior of the building might seem a little bit intimidating at first but don't worry, the apartment is great and cozy and, as others may have written already, it has a great view of the city.
Unfortunately we didn't manage to meet Melanie because she was away, but it was very generous of her to leave us her house for three days. She was always helpful and answered immediately to our messages. There was a minor inconvenience when she forgot to leave us the keys to the apartment the first day, but she managed to solve the problem in a couple of hours and she sent me a 10% discount, so I really can't complain. Thanks!
