Great place to stay for a London visit. Hampstead was a nice upscale area away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. From Farida's lodge, you had multiple/easy options to access central London, though the best were either the #24 or #168 buses - from Hampstead station, both of which have nice routes into the city (about a 20 - 30 min ride to Holborn/Covent Garden areas).
Also, the Heath was only a few min away by foot, where plenty of nature trails and spots are. Great cafes are located near Hampstead tube station or Hampstead overground train station, both of which were only a 5-8 min walk away.
The room with its private bathroom was set in a separate part of the flat, so it felt private for the most part. There was a large community lawn/garden space across the street to relax/walk around.
Farida was an excellent host and was super accommodating. My wife and I traveled with our young son, and Farida was very easy going about it and made us all feel very welcome. She was very generous and hospitable, and we definitely recommend this spot for folks looking for a more local and accessible experience in London.
