Living with Host
Our home is in Muswell Hill, very close to the Broadway and the excellent transport links to the centre of London - a short bus ride to either the Northern or the Piccadilly Line will take you to Covent Garden, Leicester Square, Shaftesbury Avenue, Charing Cross etc.
Our street is a quiet road off the main shopping area, with stunning views across London.
We have a large mainly ground floor flat, with your bedroom on the lower ground floor, it is a very quiet room with windows on to the front. Your bedroom is an en-suite recently refurbished double room in a family home - adult children - all family members are involved in the performance business.
Our son, who is an actor now lives in his own flat, so this beautiful room used to be his and is the one he uses when he comes home. It has a brand new kingsize mattress, black out curtains, plenty of storage, a TV, Wi-Fi, underfloor heating, bedside lights as well as ceiling and wall lights. The bathroom which is for your sole use, has a bath, loo and handbasin, over bath electric power shower and heated towel rails.
We have a lovely cleaning lady who comes on Friday mornings and she will do your room at your convenience. We would ask if you are a smoker, that you smoke outside and use a provided ashtray.
Our kitchen is at the back of the house overlooking the garden, it is extremely well equipped, except for a microwave - I just have never fancied the idea of one!! We have a long south facing garden, with plenty of outside seating.
If you have any queries at all about either our accommodation or the area where we live, please feel free to contact us.
We have been a host family for many years and completely understand the theatre lifestyle.

Hazel was a wonderful guest, we really enjoyed her company
It's not only the view that's beautiful (it really is) and the house itself but Janie and Raymond really are the most sweet, genuine and lovely people you could meet. Everything you could want on Theatredigs! I really couldn't recommend it higher!

It was great being in such a welcoming home! I loved how cozy and comfortable the room was, and it was so nice to be around such a musical family and sweet doggo named Coco! Also Muswell Hill is a very pretty area, with everything you need!

Janie and Ray are fantastic hosts, so welcoming! The house is really lovely, well kept, and the room very cosy with ensuite bathroom. There are buses into London every 3 or 4 mins, or via nearby Highgate Tube station. I can't reccommend them enough!

Thank you so much Paul, hopefully next time you come to London, the weather will be better and you will be able to really appreciate the spectacular views xx
Brilliant stay, perfect location for north London. Janie and Raymond are super hosts, equally happy to chat and have a glass or leave you to your own devices. Room is great, warm and comfortable and access to own bathroom is brilliant.
