Overall an excellent stay. The apartment was very quirky and clean and the bathroom was fabulous. Full kitchen facilities including a spice rack which were very useful since we prepped most of our meals. Be warned that there are two flights of stairs - one to get up to the apartment proper and another to reach the bedrooms. It didn't bother us but might not be ideal for very young kids and seniors.

Location is great and area is very pretty, safe and quaint. Quiet even though it's close to central London. It's about 10 to 15 minutes walk to the nearest underground stop and the stop for the 390 bus service to Kings Cross and Notting Hill Gate. We also used the bus service C2 to Victoria from Parliament Hill Fields which was about five minutes walk away in the direction of Hampstead Heath - exit apartment and turn right (past the vet's and liberty kebabish) and keep going straight for about five minutes until you hit another main road. Stops on this service include Kentish Town, Camden Town (great for Camden Lock Market) and Oxford Circus.

Would highly recommend the apartment for Muslim families. Plenty of halal food available in Kentish Town and Camden. Right downstairs from the apartment is a well-stocked deli where we bought groceries including halal sausages and the neighbouring butcher sells halal chicken. Halal kebabs and burgers available near Tufnell Park tube stop. Hampstead Heath has swans to feed and huge green spaces for kids to run around. The heath apparently inspired the setting for C.S. Lewis' Narnia, and we got a kick out of Ron's last name - Aslan, as per the lion in Narnia.

Finally, Ron is an excellent and courteous host. Easy communication and he is very responsive and prompt since he lives in the area.

Highly recommended.
