Ali was a great host and very eager to make his living space comfortable for guests. He was easy to contact and really responsive. He even provided brand new, extra furniture when I asked for something he did not have! The Camden area is bustling and busy and fun. I particularly liked the access to the canal path for running, and it is just a mile away from Regent's Park. I ran everyday I was there! There are great groceries really close by so I had everything I needed from basics to organics to fresh produce. (The Italian coffee place next door is particularly good!) The flat is an impressively large space, but could really use a deep clean, particularly in the bathroom which had a kind of mildew smell. The train noise was also pretty loud. I got used to it while the windows were closed and it didn't bother me, but when it was hot and I opened the windows, it was a bit too loud for my liking. Other than that, I really appreciated Ali's willingness to work with his guests! Definitely a good host!
