Guest Reviews

• Emma (5/5): Passable - It was clean but there was hokes in the wall Having to go though someone's house living room every time we wanted to go in or out this wasn't mentioned on booking
• Stephen (8/5): Very good - It was a lovely room, with self catering facilities and ensuite bathroom. Adbul and his family were very warm and welcoming. The room and facilities were very clean, with everything necessary for your stay. The room is in a nice little neighbourhood with relatively nearby access to the tube. There are nearby shops, little restaurants and cafes should you need them. I would certainly stay there again. After reading some of the other reviews for this location I can verify that they are accurate. I also recommend the family's chicken curry btw! It was a pleasure to stay there and I was very glad to have met Adul and his family.
• Kiaya (9/5): Superb -
• Stephen (3/5): Poor - Nice friendly staff Had go threw main house all time go apartment out back Wasn't very clean at all stained pillows sheets Shower dirty couldn't shower or wash
• Adamova (3/5): Friendly host but poor accommodation and structure. - The property was close enough to Wembley stadium with a good connection to public transport. For the size of the accommodation it was good value . When meeting the host, he was friendly and welcoming. We were allowed to check in earlier with extra fee. Cooking facilities and bathroom/shower available There was no separate exit. In order to get in and get out of the accommodation, we had to go through the family home and then through the back was the annex ( accommodation). No curtains on the large window, just a big mirror but the top was still not covered, we had to DIY with some clothes to cover the window for privacy. Outside the annex ,right by the door multiple people,mostly men were smoking sisha past 2am and talking. We have returned late from an event approx 12.30 but we couldn't sleep due to people talking and smoking right outside our accommodation. We were tempted to leave and not bother sleeping as we didn't feel comfortable with it all, but we were exhausted. The large cupboard above the bed was removed but nothing was placed there , just holes in the wall. We probably slept no more than 3-4 hours because we heard sisha and talking from 6am again. No consideration of the fact that we are paying guests that want to sleep. Couldn't find a smoke detector or a carbon monoxide detector, anything for safety if an accident happened e.g a fire. There were live wires hanging from one of the lamps above the kitchen area.
• Jan (8/5): Very good value stay for one person. - Very comfortable. Very clean. Access is through the main house, although sequence of keys was very clear.
• Maria (10/5): The owners very friendly and generous, I was feeling like home. Very good condition, the room very clean and all facilit - The property was on quiet area, free parking, very clean. I highly recommend. Is perfect.
• Kristina (8/5): Very good -
• Andreea (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jamal (10/5): Great hosts in a nice locations - Abdul and his family are very great hosts, they are incredibly polite and welcoming while making you feel part of the family. I absolutely loved the place and would recommend to everyone. Doesn’t get better than this. The best thing is the live in the front house so if you need anything they are literally always around. Thank you soo much for your help and kindness
• Hannah (7/5): The apartment itself is really lovely. Great communication with the owner beforehand who was very accommodating in givin - Very clean, lovely little studio apartment. Perfect for 2 people - modern facilities. A pre warning for future guests - this apartment does not have a separate entrance and you will be required to walk through the owner’s house to access the apartment. For a young mum visiting with her daughter, this made us feel very uncomfortable walking into a stranger’s house. The owner also wasn’t at home and had guests himself who had to let us into the property (although they were very friendly). It might be worth making this more apparent in the property description.
• Lucinda (8/5): Myself and my daughter stayed at the retreat for one night we were helped with our lift back from Wembley stadium and al - Everything I needed in one place Everything was perfect
• Victoria (10/5): wonderfully caring and inclusive environment. - the host was incredibly helpful and went out of his way to make sure my daughter and I got back safely from a concert. It’s very much a family home that is shared with its guests and you’re made to feel part of it. Wonderful. Close to Wembley, via drive. Walking distance to Brent Cross Shopping Centre too, bonus. I was a bit unsure when we arrived, as it’s on a street that doesn’t look like somewhere you’d stay, but once you were there, brilliant.
• Brandon (8/5): Lovely place, location and hosts. - It was a very lovely little studio type BnB The wifi was very bad I'd say it's probably the only downfall of the bnb, you also have to walk through the homeowners living room which isn't too bad as they're lovely and it caused no issues i just felt a little bad disturbing them coming in and out
• Natalie (10/5): Comfortable and convenient stay - Very comfortable stay! We were made to feel like part of the family. On my first night I was cooked dinner and kept company until my friend arrived the next day. The space had everything we needed and was in a great location near the tube to get into the centre of London.
• Alex (10/5): Perfect - Perfect condition, very clean, and had all essentials. The owners were lovely and made pasta for us on the first night! Highly recommended, we had an amazing stay.
• Arkadiusz (10/5): Perfect place to rest! - Perfect! Everything! ;-) Nice studio with very helpful owners! ;-)
• Richard (10/5): Exceptional - hosts courteous and very helpful. Room/bathroom more spacious than appear in pictures. Good sized shower! Amenities very very good. No TV but WiFi very good so watching sky on an ipad is not a problem. Very clean. Quiet. Tesco 5-10 walking slowly. Would i recommend it? Definitely. hard to think of anything negative... maybe a TV would be good?
• Richard (8/5): Good - The people where so nice they offered food and cup of tea every time we arrived back from being out it lovely apartment they made us very welcoming, we would stay again Could have had curtains up and for us it was inside a family home at the back that made our anxiety bad for us if we know I dont think we would of book it but we loved our time there
• Jade (10/5): Exceptional -
• Martin (8/5): would stay again - Just absolutely fab for the price. Really good location, free parking, great hosts, very comfortable - it has everything you would need e.g. Kitchen, Fridge, electric hob, big shower and very hot water, heating, comfy beds
• Michael (8/5): Very good - Warm welcome. Quality accomodation. Would have been nice if toiletries were available in bathroom. No TV. Otherwise, very good.
• Ayre (9/5): Great room for price. - Price good. Good communication from start to finish. Very friendly welcome. The fact that the entrance to the retreat is only accessible through the owners house. We caused quite a scare when we came in after our show.
• Tom (9/5): Superb - It's a really nice set up, good self contained studio room. Spacious, well layed out and easy to get too. Really glad I happened upon this place and would definitely stay again. Host's are exceptionally accommodating and friendly.
• Amy (10/5): Short and sweet - Host was really welcoming, couldn’t do enough for us The place was really clean and tidy
