That was the best place I have ever stayed. I could not imagine I was so lucky to find much more than I even expected.
First, it was Ruth. She lives in the house and rents out 3 of 4 her cozy bedrooms in a beautiful typical British flat.
She is a wonder host and I completely fell in love with her personality. You won’t find many British like her. Ruth is a positive, friendly and open minded person who is interested in meeting people from all over the world at her house.
She cooked dinner for all her tenants a night before I checked out. We were 3 guest from Russia (me), a student from Italy and a German woman. It was like a family dinner and I definitely can say that Ruth a very good 👩‍🍳 in addition to her personality.
The second, the house! Everything is made their with love and a good sense of taste. I felt like I am at home. Ruth has many books around the house and nice small things which makes the house cozy.
The house is warm! That make sense for foreigners who are familiar with UK where people used to live with low temperatures in their houses.
There are two bathrooms in the house. I used one upstairs near my room.
The pictures of the flat are not as attractive as the flat is in reality.
As for the area, I love this borough. I used to live there before when I lived in London.
There are many options for travel - buses, underground and trains. It is 1 km from the house to Finsbury Park station. It is still zone 2 and you don’t need to pay much to travel to the center of the city.
For runners like me there are 2 parks near by: Finsbury park (small one, just 3 km around) and Hamstead Heart (3 km from the house).
With my pleasure I can recommend Ruth’s house. I only hope it won’t result in fully booking of her house and I will be able to come back to her again soon:)
