Nicole is a very responsive and considerate host. The apartment itself has generous rooms and is well furnished. Many of the appliances are new and it seems that the host is rapidly improving the space.The neighborhood of Queens Park is welcoming. Transit is good and the variety of neighborhoods makes for interesting shopping and eating.

The flat was clean and comfortable and our host Nicole was at all times helpful and communicative. We appreciated the opportunity to stay in a neighborhood that was not touristy and had wonderful local restaurants and shops, but also easy access to the tube (Bakerloo and Lioness lines) and many bus routes.

Nicole’s flat certainly lived up to its 5-star billing. The ground floor location was perfect for an older couple like my wife and I and the proximity of mass transit and grocery shops was a real plus. The flat was well-fitted with everything you might need for a comfortable weeklong stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Nicole was a welcoming and thoughtful host. If we make another London trip in the future, Nicole’s flat will be at the top of our list for accommodations.
