Guest Reviews

• francesca (5/5): - Well connected and easy to reach. Big rooms. It looked great as soon as we got in but after a closer inspection, it wasn't as clean as we would have hoped.
• Wayne (10/5): Ideally located and good value for money - The host could not have been more accommodating, we had a last minute change to the booking and it worked out cheaper, and although we were not expecting any money back because technically it was too late to make changes the difference was refunded. The flat was ideally suited to where we were working and it was clean and very comfortable. The towels were small and we didn't think to take our own which made showering a little difficult and the television was stuck on Freeview however this was not a problem.
• Neil (10/5): -
• Karina (6/5): - Lokalita Inštrukcie k odovzdaniu kľúčov mali byť doručené mailom v deň príjazdu, no nestalo sa tak. Viac ako polhodinu sme stáli pred ubytovaním a snažili sa dovolať majiteľovi aby nám poskytol ďalšie inštrukcie. V ubytovaní bolo chladno a nefungovalo kúrenie.
• Sonja (6/5): - Location, style. Unfortunately, I did not receive any information for the check in. We had to phone and wait for a call back and waited for almost one hour. The flat was rather cold. There were too few towels for 4 persons.
• | PLACE (9/5): - Wonderful host, great location, perfect flat. Totally loved it, would certainly go back!
• Markus (9/5): -
• Anne (6/5): - Appartement spacieux Déco plutôt bien Bien situé Ok équipement cuisine Propreté Baignoire douteuse lavabo microscopique! Un seul radiateur dans une chambre et la salle d’eau et premier jour très humide! Pas de retour de la propriétaire à propos de la panne des autres convecteurs.. Bruit du metro !
• Victoire (8/5): Pas mal mais un peu cher - La décoration et l’emplacement La communication a été compliqué avec le propriétaire, nous avons attendu plus de 40min devant la porte Et nous avons été obligés d’appeler le service client de booking afin de pouvoir entrer dans l’appartement, la boîte à clef est difficile d’accès et l’appartement est Peu isolé du bruit
• digio (10/5): -
• HARJINDER (1/5): Not worth the money! - The location It had damp could smell on entry, visable in hallway, paper pealing off really dirty, blood stains on the carpet
• Lucía (6/5): - La case es bonita, y bien decorada. Está muy bien situada para poder ír a cualquier lado. Le falta limpieza. La moqueta del suelo, el sofa, están llenos de manchas.
• Gianna (5/5): Damp and tired, wouldn’t recommend - The location was great - just off Camden high street and a short walk from the nearest tube station We had to contact the host to provide the lockbox code so were late getting access to the apartment, although this was provided soon after contacting. Upon arrival we found that the dryer was in use. The apartment itself was shabby and dirty - paint was flaking from the damp walls throughout, and every soft furnishing and carpet in the property was stained and smelled bad due to the dampness. It rained during our stay and water was running down the walls as per the photo. The bed sheets were also stained and smelly, and we found hair in the bedding. The bathroom was grimy and in need of upgrading. The living room, hallway and one of the bedroom light switches didn’t work.
• Silvia (9/5): Pink London - L'appartamento si trova a due minuti a piedi dal bellissimo mercato e 5 minuti dalla stazione metro di Camden Town. Posizione centrale ma fuori dalla confusione e molto silenziosa. Bar, negozi e supermercato vicinissimi. Appartamento ampio, molto luminoso e dotato di tutti i comforts, disposto su due piani. Dicono che Camden sia una zona pericolosa, ma noi l'abbiamo trovata affascinante e piena di vita, anche se devo specificare che non abbiamo mai fatto vita notturna, max alle 22 eravamo a casa, ma c'era sempre molta gente in giro. Consigliatissimo! Purtroppo non si possono lasciare i bagagli all'interno della struttura dopo il check out, ma ci sono negozi che offrono il servizio vicino alla stazione della metro.
• Emma (7/5): - L'emplacement est parfait. Pas loin de tous les transports (Underground / bus) et Camden Market. Esthétiquement très joli avec un canapé très confortable. Malgré tout, les lits n'étaient absolument pas confortables (dans les 2 chambres) et en regardant de plus près, il y a beaucoup de problèmes dans l'appartement tels que la moisissure et l'humidité... les murs tombent en ruine et la sdb n'est pas très propre. L'appartement aurait besoin d'un bon gros ménage. Cela ne nous a pas beaucoup dérangé car la propreté générale des draps, du sol et de la vaisselle était ok. Je tiens à préciser que le métro passe SOUS l'appartement donc ça tremble souvent. L'échange avec la propriétaire était difficile car elle ne réponds pas très souvent avec beaucoup de délai...
• Chris (10/5): -
• Fabrizio (10/5): Spotless and well equipped property few steps away from Camden Market - First of all the cleaning standards are impeccable, the flat is really well maintained and I also loved the style. The kitchen and living room are actually the same room but don’t let this put you off: it’s a huge room that fits a massive sofa a very big table, everything is in excellent working condition and well equipped. Nice location as well as it’s few step form the vibrant Camden Market but not close enough to be noisy at night. Host very responsive and adorable. It’s hard to find something not to like tbh.
• Eimear (7/5): Beautiful hidden gem in the middle of Camden! - Great location, comfortable, easy access when checking in right across the street from Camden Market! All in all it was a fantastic stay! Nothing really, everything was great!
• Anne (7/5): Good and comfortable for short stay. Excellent location! - Location is excellent. 5 mins from tube and 3 stops from Euston. 5 mins from Camden market. Clear instructions to access flat. Quick response re internet issue. Comfortable bed in main room. Mostly clean and comfortable. Well equipped for stay. Bathroom wasn’t as clean as expected. Long hairs in bath and on toilet. Possibly cleaners. Very small sink in bathroom. No hand towel in bathroom and no spare towels. Very warm and fans would help with this.
• Cheri (7/5): Bright and contemporary flat in the heart of Camden Market, with easy access to a host of great bars - I didn't receive my email confirming details for access but gave the host a call and Hannah was quickly able to help us get in to the property with no issues. The bathroom is a little tired and, with four guests staying, more than one towel per person would've been helpful - especially a hand towel!
• Paul (8/5): Great little find for what we needed, would happily stay again! - Host gave clear contact and direction instructions via email in advance. Flat located right next to Camden markets with local shops, bars and transport links. Flat had a bright, modern vibe and clean throughout. Even had card games, books etc to help pass the time. A little noisy during night time economy, however there may have been an events on as there are local entertainment venues nearby. Renovation doesn’t appear to have been finished in places (missing bathroom wall tiles, damp patch on stairs wall) which distracted from its beauty.
• Oliver (4/5): Great location, shame about apartment in need of tlc - Location. Friendly cleaning lady. • late entrance (45min wait ) • ants in front room and kitchen literally all over living area, made us feel like we couldn’t relax or spend anytime in the apartment. • WiFi didn’t work • bathroom was really in need of paint and tlc. • no toilet rolls • towels provided were really old and not nice. • bath tub was rotten
• Andrea (8/5): Very good - Location, spacious Low sofa
• Danielle (9/5): Superb - Very good location for Camden and very comfortable. Easy to access other areas of London via Camden town subway. Morrisons 5 mins walk. Nice decor. And felt secure. Only downside was a bit of damp mould on the ceiling under the bathroom. But I would still stay again as the price, location and rest of the property were great.
• Blen (10/5): Exceptional - spacious
• Duong (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jemma (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ellie (9/5): we booked this as a last minute accommodation, and it didn’t let us down!! Lovely decor, spacious big beds all in all a - Stunning property! Looks just like the photos online, very aesthetic decor 😊 Nothing it was lovely!
• __mj (10/5): Really cozy, really comfortable place in Candem. - Really clean, comfortable place. You are in Camden, you can enjoy all activities there, but you can stay and rest quietly. Many services around. you can cook you food if you wish. lovely place There was some food in the fridge, it was not clear if we can use it or not, or about when it was bought. Pictures does not show it is a double store flat in a 1st floor with no lift. we did not have any issue with stairs, but other guest may have it. I would recommend this information was in the description.
• Rebecca (8/5): Very good -
• Syed (6/5): Pleasant -
• Caroline (10/5): Would recommend this little gem in Camden - This flat is in a great location. We arrived late and wished we could have stayed longer but we had a great evening Would book again. Na
• Ausra (6/5): Pleasant - Good location and price. The place has two large beds, there are no separate beds for children as the hosts claim.
• Janine (7/5): Lovely location for Camden market, apartment comfortable but could be stunning if maintenance issues resolved. - The location is perfect for Camden market and for the tube stations. The apartment had a nice modern appearance. Contact regarding the access code was not sent as promised so I had to chase that up and wait for a response. Did not get into apartment until later because of this. Cleaner was still there upon arrival. There are maintenance issues which need resolving (broken coat and hat stand in lounge, some of the light switches not working at all, no main light in back bedroom, kitchen table wobbly needs fixing, looks like damp on ceiling Above first window to stairs and plaster coming off, bathroom sink too small and patches of plaster/paint missing from bathroom wall and around sink and bathroom sink. Only one radiator was working that was the front bedroom so used additional electric heater, lots of opened and half used food still in fridge and cupboard.
• Woodhouse (8/5): Very good - Lovely place well equipped, clean and clearly very well looked after. I was not happy with the late check in which had a poor knock on effect to the rest of the evening. Communication with Hannah was poor and the promise of a message at 3pm sharing details which came almost an hour late was unacceptable.
• Monika (7/5): Good -
• Rohan (7/5): Good - Convenient to the centre of London and close to the great Camden markets and the Loch, in addition to local supermarkets. It was great to have access to a washing machine and drier. On a sunny morning the light streaming into the front bedroom and living area were lovely. We had challenges receiving the access details on time, but they were resolved with assistance from Booking.com staff.
• Jessica (4/5): Great location, poor maintenance - Location was great Only 1 heater working for the whole apartment, it was freezing. I messaged the host and got no reply. It was very disappointing, we couldn’t use the lounge or kitchen because of the cold. Not idea with kids.
• Nicola (9/5): Superb - Great location in Camden, Great communication from the host Hannah. Would highly recommend a stay here and will be booking again for a London visit.
• Adam (9/5): Superb - A bit tricky to get the key but once in, the place was great. Amazing location
• Daniel (2/5): Very dissapointing - It was a place to stay that was close to the Roundhouse, which was a major feature of booking this apartment. There are many restaurants and things nearby. My partner appreciated that there was some instant coffee provided. There isn't enough space to write about the bad. I don't fault the cleaner for the state of the place. The place needs serious maintenance. I don't usually complain and rate things poorly but this place was something else. I booked this accommodation in January 2024 for a 3 night stay in November. I got contacted two days before departure that the place can't be rented out supposedly due to damage and was offered a refund or the possibility to stay in another apartment in the same building. It felt kind of bait and switchy, but due to short notice and limited likelihood of finding something else reasonably priced, I took the offer of the other apartment. I eventually got instructions on how to access the place, that went smoothly enough. Now, as a home owner I can understand damage happens and it's good to fix things, but the apartment I am rating must have been in dire state if the renter felt the alternative apartment was a suitable replacement. After getting the keys and making our way up the narrow stairs (glad we were traveling light), we got into the place. Immediately we were hit by a very dank, strong musty smell which we had to open windows to get fresh air. After a while one didn't recognize it anymore because that's how the brain works, but it was there every time we left and came back. As we started to get settled, we began to notice how thin the veneer of nice was. We started off by chilling in the living room, until we noticed the corner wall covered in wet gross blackish mold, my partner even saw some moisture dripping. We decided we wouldn't use that room anymore. The bathroom door had a small locking device but didn't have a door knob, just the hole where one belonged. It seems that someone had rammed the door against the opposing wall in the hallway as there was a hole punched through the plaster at doorknob height. There was no soap or shampoo in the shower, "because people being allergic to different things". The 'hot' water was tepid.
• Elaine (9/5): Great Stay - thank you! - Great location, lovely apartment handy for food options and Tube. One bedroom door creaked loudly and the other one dragged so it wouldn't close but these were small matters to us and everything else was great.
• Susan (4/5): Location was perfect , we were disappointed not to have wifi & the sofas were heavily stained. - The location was perfect. Close to the tube station and bus stop.
• Martyn (4/5): BEWARE! Don't believe the title! This flat is NOT STUNNING. - Flat is in an excellent location for exploring Camden, and has good bus and tube access to central London. Plenty of dining and drinking options, plus numerous supermarkets nearby. I review holiday accommodation as a living, so this is not a review from a grumpy traveller with unrealistic expectations. Received access details just before 3.00pm, and we tried to gain access shortly after, only to find the apartment occupied by a cleaner. He told us the property was not going to be ready for a while, and to return at 6.00pm! The apartment is described as a STUNNING 2-BEDROOM FLAT. This is false and misleading, as you will see from the photos. Many issues include...living room lights didn't work/back bedroom lights didn't work/damp patches throughout/loose lightfitting with no bulb/bed in main bedroom was unsupported in the middle, and sank when we laid down/windows throughout the rear were dirty/scaffolding throughout the building so front and back of property had little natural light/bathroom plasterwork was in a bad state/partly consumed foodstuffs in fridge and cupboards/partly consumed bottles of alcohol on a shelf in the living area/clothing in main bedroom wardrobes/no vacuum cleaner/3 wastebins in the kitchen, but no recycling instructions/no wastebins in the bathroom or bedrooms/sofa was badly stained/only one tea towel, and no kitchen roll or dishwasher tablets/no mention of the many stairs throughout/entrance staircase walls were very badly scuffed/there was a spare key to the apartment left in entrance hallway for anyone to use/no 'welcome' book with key info such as doctors, restaurants, supermarkets etc.
• Chenderson90 (9/5): Superb - Excellent location and great value for money Check in wasn't as smooth as it could have been
• Louise (8/5): Great location and property for what I needed - Great location for what I needed. Clean, modern and spacious. Wasn’t able to access the property when I arrived even though timings had been agreed.
• Carol (7/5): Theatre break. - Great location. Spacious living accommodation. Close to Camden market and Chalk farm underground. Bathroom. Hand basin small. Apartment needs a little tlc.
• Daniel (7/5): Overall a very nice stay for our four days in Camden. Hannah was lovely too! - Despite how small the flat looked there was still a lot of space around for the four of us. Good kitchen, bathroom and laundry facilities. The flat had a nice homely touch, plus the swinging chair was a much loved addition. The place was very clean and organised when we arrived The WiFi was very unreliable and kept cutting out at random intervals. The stairs can be a little precarious if you're trying to carry heavy luggage up and down. Would've been nice if the different rubbish bins were labelled
• Lucy (7/5): Nice flat, fab location - - The flat was spacious, airy and in a great location right near Camden Market. - Facilities wise there was everything we needed (hair dryer, ironing board etc). - Generally clean, nice and modern. We had a lovely stay overall. - Issues with communication with regards to check in details and flat related queries prior to the stay. - When we arrived, the dryer was in use and an unknown gentleman came in to collect his towels, however he did apologise for the disturbance. - Incident occurred outside in the rear courtyard with a lot of shouting.
• Alexander (9/5): It was a lovely stay, had a small hiccup but it didn’t impede on our enjoyment of the stay - The property was well decorated and very functional, decor was very pleasing and beds were very comfy
• David (10/5): Exceptional - The flat was amazing, spotlessly ckean and in an ideal location. All of fhe facilities were excellent . We really felt at home here Accessing the property was simple and pain free
• Alan (9/5): Very happy with the accommodation. Will definitely be back. - Lovely accommodation in the heart of Camden. Nothing to dislike
• Lady (10/5): Exceptional - This flat was lovely, only regret I should have booked it for longer when I had the chance. Host was attentive and helpful.
• Sarah (8/5): Very good -
• Daniel (8/5): Great place, great host...bring jumpers - Great location, house beautifully decorated throughout with all the things you need to get by and extras (a swinging chair which is a nice touch, Guitars!!, Games and more!!) And even though you're in the middle of Camden it was really quite quiet. Fantastic service by the host quick to respond to questions. Through no fault of the host this accommodation was really cold the electric radiators were on max and we had to use an extra fan heater to get warm in the evening. When I contacted the host about it she was really quick to reply. If the flat had better heating I believe this review would of been a 10/10
• Paola (10/5): Excellent from start to finish. - Everything!
• Rachel (10/5): Great couple of nights away with friends - Lovely apartment with comfortable beds, huge sofa, shower over the bath was hot and worked well, kitchen had everything you could need and heating and TV both easy to use. The location is great if like us you are there to experience Camden Market, which was literally opposite, and the surrounding area. We will definitely come back for a second visit. Would recommend Mission:Breakout escape room which was 10 mins walk away and Camden Comedy Club. Finally make sure you are prepared to eat your own body weight in amazing food! There isn't anything that we didn't like.
• Tracey (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lynne (10/5): Exceptional - The flat was amazing, clean, comfortable and warm. Hannah was excellent, kept us up to date with check in. Location brilliant such a vibrant area. Would definitely recommend
• Madison (9/5): Superb - beautiful flat, great location and an amazing host would 100% recommend
