Gabi was incredibly welcoming and the house is fantastic. The well-lit kitchen and dining area are accurately pictured, and we spent much of our time there. It was great to have a room for each of our teenage/young adult kids since we spent the first few days sleeping at odd hours as we adjusted to the time change. The house is right across the street from a nice park and within easy walking distance of Crouch End, which has lovely shops and great restaurants. The guidebook offered excellent recommendations which we took advantage of. It was very easy to get into Central London via bus and underground or national rail, and gave us a chance to rest our feet. It was also a direct underground ride from Heathrow. The Oyster cards were worth it! I highly recommend it.
