We loved Farida's cozy room in Hampstead. It's tucked away at the top of the spiral stairs, so it feels like a secret hideaway. The neighborhood is gorgeous and the Lodge is just 5 minutes from the Tube, with convenient gelato stops along the way. Best if all, Farida was so warm and helpful. When my phone refused to work in Hampstead, she arranged for a cab. We also had tasty breakfast at her art gallery just up the hill.
