I hadn’t stayed in London since before the pandemic, and boy, it sure seemed like the prices for budget accommodations had escalated! It was practically impossible to find a single bed under eighty US on weekend nights, without going to the far far distant suburbs. That’s when I found Jacky’s place, a few blocks from Camden Town, very convenient, and the price was right.
Jacky is super accommodating, and accepted me right away. She’s very quiet, so half the time I wasn’t even aware that she was in the apartment at all, and very helpful, letting me store my groceries in the fridge (I didn’t cook there). Bathroom is just steps away, and most of the time I didn’t even know she was there.
It's a small room, but I had only one suitcase, so that fit in just fine. I really never knew about the other rooms, their doors were closed at the time. So for me, I didn’t really experience the “beautiful Camden townhouse” part, but my room was right within my budget, in a fun location, and Jacky was such a helpful and friendly host that I would definitely recommend it, if it’s available, and would definitely stay again. Thanks!
