Catherine is a warm, thoughtful hostess, respectful of the desire for privacy but also available for interesting chats and tips on what to do locally. Crouch End itself has a variety of shops and 2 good cinemas and is in easy reach of Highgate Cemetery and Hampstead Heath. The accommodation was very comfortable and clean. As mentioned in other reviews, renovations to the downstairs of the house are ongoing but did not affect the quality of my stay. I would definitely recommend a visit here.
