A pleasant interval in London
We initially had a problem accessing the flat, as the property manager was not on site as we'd been told she would be. That was resolved quickly enough, and the manager was responsive to other queries we had. While the flat was clean, and adequate for our needs, it was a bit "shabby" and "tired" - i.e. uneven wood floors and wood countertops that had a sticky residue I was unable to remove. Also, the washing machine "died" during our stay and the manager was unable to get it repaired/replaced, leaving us without one for the last week of our stay (fortunately, I'm used to doing hand wash while traveling so managed just fine!) We had adequate warning about walking six flights of stairs so were prepared for that - and it was worth it for the view!

Would stay there again!
Cute place and would stay there again. Showing some age but quick walk to Archway station and a few grocery markets. We didn't eat at any restaurants nearby except the coffee shop by station. As stated in another review, lots of steps to 5th floor....like out of breath when you reach the top. Had everything we needed!

Charm, View, Location!
My teenage daughters and I enjoyed a six night stay here in December. We found it conveniently located to the Archway tube station and therefore a 20 minute ride to the central London attractions we wanted to see. The flat was roomy for three, and the kitchen feature was nice for eating some meals there. It has a simple, cozy charm. We loved the view! The stairs are a challenge with luggage, and we had a lot, but we were prepared for it, and it was worth it for the affordability. (Do take this into consideration if you have very young children or physical limitations that make stairs a challenge) Also, as others have noted, the stairwell itself is musty, and in need of carpet replacement, but we did not feel this reflected on the flat at all. We would definitely stay here again!

Sehr schöne Wohnung im belebten Archway
Sehr schöne Wohnung, ausreichend für eine Familie mit 2 Kindern. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind mit der Tube in ca. 20 Min. zu erreichen. Toller Ausgangspunkt für Sightseeing. Das Viertel ist sehr lebendig und multikulturell. Wir haben eine schöne Woche verlebt.

About the host

Hosted by CATHY

Host profile image
Bruce and Cathy Gibson are the brand new owners of this wonderful London flat. We purchased from the previous owner who also rented out the property and we are continuing the tradition of being able to share our place with others. We have many repeat customers and that speaks to the charm and wonderful views from its fifth floor perch.
We reside in California but consider London to be a second home and a very special place for us as a couple.

Why they chose this property

If you want to stay in a real London neighborhood vs. touristy this is the place for you! The underground is a 5 minute walk away and you can be in central London in 15 minutes!
There are great restaurants locally and an outdoor market on Saturdays in the square next to the tube station.
If stairs are an issue, please note this is a 5 floor walkup with no lift service.
