Neel is a wonderful host, informative, generous and helpful. He always responded to our emails immediately, and while we were here texted us very pertinent tips about transportation and about London in general. He is a very intelligent guy and a great conversationalist. The neighborhood is very nice--you can catch the 168 bus or the northern line nearby and get where you want to go easily. If you are fit and the weather is good, you can walk to the Thames as well. It would take about an hour, I believe. Camden market is about a 20 minute walk from the house, and Hampstead Heath and Primrose hill are short walks. We really enjoyed Neel's hospitality, and would gladly stay here again.
