Highgate Flat just brilliant

This flat gave us everything we were expecting and everything we needed. I stayed with my wife, daughter and her husband for four days, it is immaculately clean and it worked for us perfectly. It is located in a beautiful quiet street with all the local facilities we needed. The tube is just down the road and the pubs are close by in every direction. Alex is a true champion as a host, our check in was smooth and easy. Also Alex is a very attentive host who was on hand and contactable whenever we needed advice or help any matter. I would strongly recommend this flat to anyone. Bob

Crouch End must

Firstly, buyer beware - Crouch End is hilly very hilly so take note if you are not 100% fit /able bodied - also the flat is up one flight of stairs plus stairs to the bedrooms /bathroom and a ladder to the terrace (beware especially!). It is also a step in shower i.e. over the bathtub. Don't let that put you off, it is a beautifully appointed and dressed flat - very cozy and comfortable with all "mod cons" including very comfortable beds. The area is as delightful -great cafes, bars and pubs and very good public transport connections - the W5 bus route got very well used - we loved our temp home and will definitely stay there again the next time we get to "go home " esp. as Alex the landlord was very helpful & patient with some of our not so bright queries.

Excellent stay!

The home was great for our stay in London. Alex was very responsive and helped with check-in and tips for the area. The home is walking distance to the underground. The rooftop terrace has great views of London. There was plenty of space to spread out and unwind after spending the day in the city.

Great time in London

Alex is a very nice host and the flat lives up to its promise. Comfortable beds and everything you need in the kitchen and living room. The location is also very good. Very nice and quiet residential area but with bus and underground in 30-40 minutes in the centre. Supermarket, cafés and restaurants are even within walking distance.

Stunning Property

The property was exactly as advertised online, maybe even better! The view from the room was stunning and we looked out over Paris every night! The property had everything we could have asked for to make it feel homey. We could walk to the Eiffel Tower which was a wonderful surprise.

Wonderful UK Stay

My husband and our 37 yr old son stayed for 2 weeks end of Sept - early Oct. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and we found it easy to prepare meals as it had all the equipment we needed. The weather was nice enough on many days and nights to enjoy the rooftop terrace. Fun to see the lights of London and one night we could hear the Arsenal club fans singing during a match that was a few miles away in their stadium. The apt is in a great residential neighborhood and we loved hearing the children in the school across the street. We were able to walk to the famous Highgate Cemetery and shops in Crouch End were about a 15 min walk for us. The owner Alex went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and accommodated my allergies to fragrance. He could not have been easier to deal with! Definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay just outside the hustle and bustle of downtown London.

Superb stay and wonderful hosts

Our family stayed here for 5 days and loved it. The flat is clean, the beds are comfortable, all amenities are provided and the hosts (Alex and Isi) are welcoming, responsive and first-class. The neighbourhood is lovely — mostly residential and great for walking. Perhaps not recommended for anyone with limited mobility because Highgate is quite hilly, but we loved it. There are 2 underground stations within a 15 minute walk, as well as bus stops close by. Even better, there are places to shop and eat in almost every direction (again, if you don’t mind a bit of a walk). Throw in the rooftop terrace with views of London and we could not recommend this place more highly.

Home away from home

The property is immaculate. Alex is a terrific host who communicated with us the whole way to make the process smooth. Great place to come home to after busy days in London. Quiet neighborhood within walking distance of Crouch End and Highgate. Comfy beds and the rooftop deck is stunning. Everything was perfect and we enjoyed our time tremendously

The perfect landing pad

Alex's flat provided one of the best accommodation experiences we've had on our many travels. It really feels like a "home": clean, bright rooms, tastfully and comfortably furnished; a terrific and well-equipped kitchen (we cooked there a lot!); the best beds and bed linens; good storage space; quiet and pretty neighbourhood. Loved the little roof-top terrace - up a rather steep stair/ladder, but worth the climb! Alex was a great and accommodating communicator, very responsive, kind and most helpful. Travel time from the Archway tube to the city centre and most destinations was reasonable (often around 30-40 minutes), considering how huge London is. The flat itself is a bit of a distance from the station, but there is a very regular bus (the W5) that is a minute away from the flat and a 6-minute trip to and from the station, so we never felt isolated. And Ubers are easy to get. We actually appreciated being able to retreat to our lovely, peaceful pad, as London can feel a little overwhelming after a day of museums and shopping and walking! This beautiful flat will be our preferred "home" in London when we come back.

Comfortable apartment on quiet street

This apartment was very comfortable. We were two friends traveling together so we appreciated the spaciousness of the flat. The kitchen was reasonably well appointed and everything was very clean. The host was very easy to communicate with. As others have mentioned, it is located on a quiet street in a residential neighborhood. The one thing to make note of, is that the rooftop terrace is accessed through a hatch in the upper floor ceiling. There is a ladder to climb to get up there. It would not be easy to take drinks up and impossible if you have any mobility issues. We did not use it at all during our stay although the weather was glorious. Also, both tube stations are a good 15 to 20 minute walk that includes hills so keep that in mind as well. Otherwise I would not hesitate to recommend this flat to anyone visiting London!
