Very good all around. Great location and communication. Back patio was nice but could be fantastic with upgraded seating. Would have been nice to have laundry and dish soap provided, and more than one roll of toliet paper. Still, i wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
Pros... roomy, plenty of warm water, washer available, great temp, lots of natural light, easy access to tube/train stationCons... not ready at checkin time, lacking general cleanliness, plenty of dirty spots and dust all about, dishes in cabinet were dirty, 3 flights of steep skinny stairs, lots of street noise/sirens, we were told to provide our own toilet paper so we had to go shopping (one roll and one almost empty roll was provided)
Very cosy and very clean apartment, nice place to live in. Public transport is nearby, although Kentish Town Station was closed due to renovations, there are plenty of other alternatives. Very uncomplicated, warm and helpful welcome (Thank you and regards to Iivia!). All told, we enjoyed our stay and we definetly recommend the apartment.
The apartment worked out great for us and was a good location except for the Underground station at Kentish Town is closed. If you are a lite sleeper make sure you bring ear plugs. The beds were comfortable and the space worked out great for us.
The apartment was clean and tidy as shown and described in the pictures. There was enough space for the 2 of us and we felt very comfortable these 4 days.
All in all a beautiful and recommendable apartment in a really great area! Thank you for letting us stay with you for these 4 days.
Most of the 7 day stay we did not have Internet, so we had to use our purchased London data in the apartment.
Check in process had few bumps, as we could not connect right away with the person replacing the owner.
I booked this place after reading all the overall things it had, I had no idea I would be charged extra money for a second room until I was already on my way to London. This place is NOT a 2 bedroom, it's a q bedroom that can add an extra bedroom (so hidden fees). If it listed the place for more money, and both rooms I would have been ok with it
It would have been nice to know there were a lot of stairs leading up to the apartment. I'm in my late 70's but lucky for me, I'm fit. There were four in our party but only two wash cloths. The first day after showering the tub flooded through the floor into the bedroom. "John" came immediately to assess the problem and agreed to make the repairs next day while we were in London. We were gone all day but the repairs were not complete when we arrive back. We could not use the bathroom until he was finished. Very inconvenient. The apartment was clean and convenient to the train station.
Overall, we were very pleased with our stay at this location. The property was clean and had plenty of space for the two of us. The beds were VERY comfortable and felt great after a long day exploring London! I also recommend getting the bonus loft space; it was a large space with a great view of London. There are a lot of stairs to access this proper. Just an FYI for people who may not be able bodied, but we didn't mind at all.
The property is in a great location. It is north of the hustle and bustle of the city proper, however there is a lot to offer in the neighborhood; plenty of restaurants and EASY access to the bus and tube to get anywhere in the city!
The property does mention it has WIFI, but it did not work. Even after the property manager reset the router, we still did not have access. Plan to create and use your own hotspot or be off the grid for the week as you don't have internet access.
The only other downside was communication between the owner and the property manager. When we arrived we were told we did not have a reservation and then there was debate over payment we did or did not make. This made for a stressful start to our trip, but the situation was rectified. Both Valeria and John were kind and pleasant to us; the communication breakdown was on their end.
Overall, I highly recommend this space and would return on my next trip to London!
Die Lage direkt an U-Bahn und Bus ist sensationell. Man ist in 10 Minuten am Oxford Circus und kann alle bekannten SehenswĂŒrdigkeiten Ă€hnlich schnell erreichen. Toll auch, wenn es heiĂ ist, ist man super schnell in Camden bzw in einem Park z.B. Primrose Hill etc. Die Wohnung selbst ist in Ordnung - allerdings war es nicht ganz sauber, die SpĂŒlmaschine war kaputt, der KĂŒhlschrank hat gemuffelt, viele GlĂŒhbirnen haben nicht funktioniert, die WohnungstĂŒr muss man zuschlagen - insgesamt fehlt ein bisschen Liebe zum Detail...
Property was clean, very nice and was the same as advertised. The only thing I found was it did not mention that there were a lot of stairs to climb. Other than that John was very nice and our stay was enjoyable.
We stayed for just over a month and found the flat very well suited for our needs. The second bedroom on the top floor is the nicer and larger of the two so worth paying the supplement. NB there are quite a lot of stairs so not ideal with a pushchair or mobility constraints.
Perfect location, literally across the street from the Northern line and it was so easy to get everywhere we wanted to go. Restaurants and grocery stores right there. We rented the additional space which is another bedroom upstairs, was super helpful to have that additional bedroom. We also cooked in and they generally had everything we needed. This is a 3rd floor apartment so you have to be ready for that, not a problem for us. The entrance is around back as the apartment is over a commercial property (empty at the moment). This explains why you have to meet the manager in person to get the keys, no place for a lock box that I could see. He came very quickly when we texted him we were there. Street noise didnât bother us but I use a white noise app to sleep anyway. Couldnât here anything from the upstairs bedroom. Weâve stayed at newer apartments in the past but we given the choice now would stay here instead, the location trumps the more dated decor and quirkiness of the layout. We were super happy with our stay.
The place was ok, But when you stay at a VRBO I expect to have silverware to use. Hand towels and other thing that a home would have. The photos online should be update to how this property really is not how it use to be.
My family of three enjoyed its two nights in this apartment above the bustling Kentish Town main road. It was perfectly situated for our vacation -- visiting friends who lived nearby, running and swimming at Hampstead Heath, shopping at the outdoor Camden Town market, and then traveling from London to Paris via train. The apartment sits above a Tesco grocery store and several restaurants, and across the street from the Kentish Town Underground station that provides quick access to Kings Cross and St. Pancreas. It might be a little far for some tourists from the main London attractions -- 30 to 40 minutes by train -- but the apartment and neighborhood has so much to offer. My daughter loved the spacious loft second bedroom, which came with a reasonable add-on fee. The kitchen and bathroom were modern and well stocked. The main room isn't huge but we had more than enough space for dinners or relaxing after days out. Check-in wasn't perfect; our host was a little late and gave us the wrong wifi password. (We figured out the error the next day.) But he was very kind and helpful and also allowed us to stow our bags before check in so we could explore the city upon arrival. The street nose is noticeable, but we went so hard during the day that we were tired and out cold at night. So the noise wasn't as big a factor for us as it might be for others. The rental rate was reasonable and a true value for the location. We would stay here again. Note that entrance is through a gate in the back alley and up three flights of stairs. No elevator. Not a problem for my family but worth noting for others with limited mobility.
The pictures make it bigger and nicer than it is. The supossed terraed was semi-abandoned with an ld table and only a chair. The main problem was the wifi, which worked very irregularly. The manager was very kind and nice, but not so efficient.
Heating worked wonderfull. The entrance, through a dead-end street had a workshop and a heap of old furniture and rubbish.
The property was comfortable and had everything needed for a stay of any length. Bed comfortable. Great location right opposite tube station and within walking distance of Camden.
Could only be improved by having blinds fitted to block morning light. On a main road therefore noisy during night though luckily we had taken ear plugs and eye masks.
Hi HomeAway community! My name is Diana and my greatest pleasure in the whole world is to travel and discover new places. Even though we will not meet in person, I will be more than happy to accommodate you in one of my properties.
This fabulous property is situated directly opposite Kentish Town underground station and 10 minutes walk from vibrant Camden Town and stunning Hampstead Heath. It has excellent public transport connections and a great place to relax.
