Fantastic accomodations

The flat was well appointed, clean and pleasing to the eye. Pretty and quiet neighborhood with close access to the tube. Alex was super nice, quick to respond and was very accommodating by providing us with an air bed, extra sheets, towels and pillow for the 4th person that was added to our party. Overall a fantastic stay. Highly recommend.

Loved it

Great flat in a wonderful area. Not far from highgate with its wonderful village and pubs. Crouch end, which is also lovely is a short walk away. We loved the location as you felt a million miles away after a day in hectic London. Alex is a wonderful host and is super helpful. Wouldnt hesitate to stay in the wonderful flat again.

Home Away From Home

A great neighborhood for your stay if you want to feel like a local! Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Wonderful windows overlooking gardens and the charming street. Convenient grocery and food delivery. And the rooftop terrace with a city view is Spectacular! Walter was gracious and generous-couldn’t have asked for a better onsite property manager! Thank you so much for a delightful two-week stay!

Wonderful base to discover London

Super cozy and clean apartment, well equipped and lovingly furnished! It’s been a perfect base for us parents with 2 teenager and one 10-year old to discover London without excessively long travel starting from Highgate tube station just a 10 minute walk away. Thank you Alex, for organising the residential parking registration and your always prompt feedback!!! KR Rainer +4

Good property to be close to London but enjoying the outskirts of London.

Alex house is in a very good location. And moreover the house is in a good condition. If you are used to the London underground it is excellent. Alex house is providing every items one can ask for a long stay (We stayed close to 3 weeks) Kitchen and utilities are very sufficient I cooked a lot. Bedrooms are very good. Environment is beautiful. As a person who likes the nature they are immense opportunities to explore. Parks and walking places around are excellent. I run every morning 1 miles walked a lot etc. This is a good property for small family stays.

This flat was absolutely perfect for our first trip to London! We loved the neighborhood vibe, walkability, and location near so much nature, like Hampstead Heath & Waterlow Park. Transportation to other parts of the city via the tube was convenient, too. The flat itself was gorgeous, full of artistic touches, and incredibly comfortable. It was quiet, felt safe, and was a truly wonderful find. We luckily got to meet the host who had provided a flat & area guide in advance, and then recommended even more amazing places to go & see. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

Quaint and perfect

I was looking for quaint and quiet away from Central London and this is it!! Exactly as advertised and even better in person.The roof deck is not to be missed and the neighborhood and hosts are simply wonderful. Beds are comfortable, flat is clean, organized and full of interesting art and books. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. There are a few small food shops within a short walk and an excellent bakery around the corner. Larger markets are a walk into town 20 mins.

Perfect flat to explore London!

Absolutely loved this charming flat and would stay again in a heartbeat! Close walking distance to several Tube lines, a charming café and the delightful neighborhoods of Crouch End and Highgate, yet super quiet area for relaxing after being in the hub of London all day. I am a very light sleeper and was so grateful that the place was so quiet. Alex gave us super-helpful recommendations and was easy to communicate with and get in touch with. House was comfortable, good beds, plenty of hot water, charming rooftop garden where we sat out in the sun! Check in and check out very easy. Thank you, Alex!

Nice and comfortable

Our stay at this apartment was very charming and comfortable for 2 couples. We had everything we needed, (though admittedly we didn’t spend much time there), though the bedrooms are small and there’s not much space for suitcases and belongings in the bedrooms, and toilet articles in the bathroom. We liked that there was lots of coffee (stashed away high in a cabinet) and we used the washer/dryer (one unit) with some difficulty figuring out how it worked. We would recommend this apartment for its charm, general comfort and reasonable price, but it’s pretty far out from the main sites of London, and it’s a 15–20 minute walk to the tube.

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

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.

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.
