Living with Host
THE ROOM
The room has a double bed, with memory foam topper, full length mirror, clothes rail and comfy chair. The room is at the back of the building, and looks over the garden, so is quiet, and doesn’t feel like you’re in zone 2 in London!
You’ll have full use of all the amenities: kitchen (hob, oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, but no microwave), newly renovated bathroom (shower and bath tub) and washing machine/tumble dryer. When you stay, I’ll make sure there’s space in the kitchen for any food you want to store in cupboards or the fridge. My flat is on the 3rd floor, and doesn’t have a lift. My neighbours are friendly and considerate.
YOUR HOSTS
You’ll be sharing with me, a 35 year old female – I work part time from home developing policy for the NHS - and my cat, Mog, she's unlikely to bother you, unless you want her to! My boyfriend occasionally stays (max 1 night a week)
I am welcoming to people from all walks of life, backgrounds, cultures and orientations
Guest Parking
Parking is not available at my property.
The Area and Transport
LOCATION
The flat is located in Highbury Barn, N5, you get all the perks of being near a little high street but also on a quiet residential street as well. There are several supermarkets (Sainsburys, Tesco, Waitrose) within a 15 minute walk and cafes and corner shops a few minutes away. One reason I really enjoy living here is that the area is very safe and is quiet at night, but is also quite central and easy to get to anywhere in London.

Beth was super friendly and the room is so ideal with a comfy bed and garden facing room which is so quiet and peaceful. I'm a light sleeper and it was perfect. Got a good night's sleep.

Lovely stay at Beth's place. Good transport links with buses at the top of the road or a 15-minute walk to nearest tube station. Bedroom was small but comfortable. Only small negative was the kitchen could've been cleaner. Had a nice stay though.
