Upon arrival at Zac’s place at noon, he had not yet cleaned the apartment, so we left our luggage and went out to lunch. An hour later, he texted us to let us know it was ready. My wife felt the need to clean a bit further, especially in the kitchen and bathroom.

The apartment is very nice – one bedroom and bath with a small entryway where the washing machine/dryer is in a closet and a living room/kitchen area. Both the bedroom and living room have large sliding doors out onto a nice balcony overlooking the Regent Canal, which is a lively setting for most of the day. The building is fairly new and there is a doorman/concierge and a gym.

We needed to buy some things for the unit, which may well not have been necessary for others, especially those who won’t be cooking in the flat. We purchased wine glasses (there were Champagne flutes) and some kitchen utensils like wooden cooking spoons, a knife (there was only 1 small knife), colander and measuring cups. When we arrived, the shower apparatus was loose and the shower head kept falling loose during operation, so I checked with Zac and got his permission to use duct tape to keep it in place. Otherwise, everything worked fine.

Our two-week+ stay was very nice – Camden Town is a very hip area with lots going on – mostly young people, which was great. The Camden Locks Markets are close and fun to shop with some great international food stalls. The flat is convenient to the Northern Line Tube Station at Camden Town. There is a yoga studio in the next block that is really excellent.
