Nicola was a very responsive host, even though he was many kms. away in Italy. He returned our text messages almost immediately. The apartment is decorated as a European-style home, yet with plenty of reserved space for guests' clothing, etc. The master bedroom and beautifully redesigned en suite bathroom is quite private from the rest of the flat, and the second bedroom is very comfortable with the second bathroom conveniently located across the hall. While the flat is in a classy residential neighborhood, it is steps away from a vibrant shopping and restaurant scene in Camden Town. Very convenient to the tube and buses, grocery shopping (including a small Whole Foods Market) and ethnic restaurants. The Camden Town scene is extremely busy, especially on week-ends, but so is most of London, it would seem. We would return here in a minute.
