Lois and Mick are fantastic hosts and will make you feel welcome in their home. They are a genuine, warm and kind family and even invited me to a BBQ to celebrate their son’s birthday.
The single room on the back of the house is cosy with a view of the garden which has plenty of seating, a hammock and pond. The bed is very comfy and there is plenty of storage, with a powerful shower in the bathroom which is on the same floor. The kitchen and living area are homely and the house never feels crowded, even when there are other guests staying. Lois and Mick are very accommodating and allowed me to use their office to work from home a few days each week.
The house is in a very safe, quiet area and is only a 10 minute walk to East Finchley tube station. The Northern line only takes around 15/20 minutes into Central London and there is a bus stop not far from the end of the road which will take you past the tube station. You will find Sainsbury’s, Budgens and Iceland on the High Road, as well as many coffee shops and cafes, a post office, pharmacy, takeaways and a few pubs.
There are also lots of green spaces near by, with some woods just across the road as well as Cherry Tree Wood with tennis courts and a cafe opposite the tube station. Slightly further afield are Alexandra Palace, Highgate Woods and Hampstead Heath.
I would not hesitate to recommend Lois and Mick as hosts.
