The very best thing about this apartment is its host, Stanley, who, together with his super lovely mother, greatly made up for our very comfortable three-month stay during the on and off lockdowns at the turn of 2020-2021.
The house is very conveniently located between Camden and Hampstead Heath. Whenever we had to go to the centre, we just walked, but there are buses, tube and train stops nearby. There are plenty of supermarkets, specialised food stores and nice restaurants around. The flat is very well equipped and we always felt that whatever thing may come in handy at any given moment, could be found within the flat (e.g., kitchen utensils, linen, spare lightbulbs, cleaning products). The building is at a very quiet road with the bedroom overlooking a green massive courtyard made up of small gardens, so noise was never an issue. The neighbours are also quite friendly and we were never disturbed by noise. There’s a clinic nearby for any medical issues which provides really kind attention. The heating system in the house and the water pressure were superb.
As mentioned above, the hosts were fantastic to us, incredibly responsive, generous and attentive. When we entered the flat, there were a few issues that needed attention as, due to the nature of our booking and mobility restrictions, there had been just hours to prepare the flat for our check in after another guest’s long-term stay. Fortunately, the communication with Stan and his mother was very agile -usually replying within minutes. As an example, after finding out a problem with the boiler, we had a technician coming into the house to fix it the day after. Overall, we knew that any question we had or assistance we needed with the flat would be diligently and carefully dealt by. This could be felt since the moment we first wrote to Stan when we asked if it would be possible to have an extra office chair in the living room and Stan made sure to get one before our arrival. Thank you both for taking such an attentive and kind care of us. 😊
Just one thing that is worth considering if you stay for several months is that the bed, while accommodating a couple without problems is not massive. At the time of our stay, my partner was pregnant (and sleeping with a special cushion) and I am quite a tall person, so over those months we had our fair share of involuntary kicks and elbows hitting each other. Otherwise, there are plenty of good quality linen, duvets, pillows, etc.
