The place is very nice but tiny.
The description is not misleading. The place is exactly as described, no more. It is in good shape, nicely decorated, well equipped. The pictures show the entirety of it, except for the narrow staircase to go from the street to the apartment via the balcony.
Going to central London takes around 30 minutes to an hour depending on the route you take and if you walk to Seven Sisters station or if you pay extra for the bus to go there. There is a lot to be said about the way TfL charges for riding the Tube or buses!
It is a very good place for two people who are mostly eating out. For four people (as we were) it is definitely too small. The place has a real kitchen but no place to eat. The main room has a coffee table, but not comfortable to have a proper meal. The balcony has a tiny table that barely fits two plates and glasses. It’s perfect for the late afternoon drink with the sunset, not for a four people diner.
There are plenty of closets in the main (and only) room. The beds are comfortable.
The neighborhood is indeed calm and safe. There is a big Sainsbury’s supermarket 5 minutes away. The school next door is not that noisy. You will definitely hear some children playing after 8/9am on weekdays, but we managed to sleep over that.
Sleep-wise, the light gave us more trouble than the noise. The two main windows have thick curtains, but the door to the kitchen lets a lot of early light come in the room. If you are used to sleep in the dark, take eye-masks with you.
Leilah seems to be a very nice person, even though we didn’t have a lot of interactions. Her instructions are very clear and the apartment is easy to live in. The key box is very useful for checking in and out, and even for every day and not risk loosing the only keyring.
Overall, it a nice place to stay.
