I stayed at Sam’s for the second time and loved it all over again. It couldn’t be more convenient as it’s (literally!) just steps from the tube. It rained quite a bit this trip and I didn’t even need to open my umbrella to get to the tube entrance.
There are grocery stores right across the street, as well as a pharmacy, post office and restaurants. Hampstead and Chalk farm are just a short walk away.
Sam was gracious and super flexible. She let me drop my bags off early and leave late (an enormous help!) as she didn’t have someone else checking in that day.
The flat is small and pretty and so thoughtfully designed with enough storage that it feels bigger than it is. I found it homey and cozy but not too tiny. It’s ideal for one person, and would work for two people who don’t mind close quarters.
I will be plan to try and stay here whenever I’m in London!
