It was a real pleasure meeting you, Chris, and having you as a guest. You will always be welcome at the Cosy Studio Flat.
I enjoyed a relaxing, peaceful and quite wonderful stay at Bill's Cosy Studio Flat which had absolutely everything anyone could wish for. A real home from home in a convenient location, close to the bus and tube. Bill was such a kind and welcoming host and I would not hesitate to book again when I am next in London. Thank you Bill!

Hello Susannah, thank you ever so much for those very kind words. You will always be welcome should you choose to stay at any time in the future. With very best regards, Bill
I enjoyed a wonderful, peaceful, comfortable and welcoming stay with Bill at his cosy studio flat. Bill is such a kind, helpful and accommodating host. Great location with everything I needed. A home from home and haven after busy days rehearsing and during our run. A great location (no. 43 bus and other buses outside the door and Highgate tube 7 minutes walk away. Brilliant! I look forward to staying again. Thanks so much Bill and for your kind lift to Euston when I checked out - Susannah

Susannah, it was an absolute pleasure to meet you and to have you stay in the Cosy Studio Flat. You left the flat clean and neat. I am grateful. It is hard to meet people who will go the extra mile to ensure complete tidiness. You are a wonderful person, and you are always welcome to stay should you ever desire to.
Had a fantastic four week stay here while in rehearsals - lovely area with good links into central London. Bill and his family were great hosts, and the digs were comfortable and well equipped. Shower could be a bit temperamental temperature-wise but other than that, it was great! Would definitely stay again.

Bill's flat is a lovely place to stay. Clean, comfortable bedding, nice light sitting room. Kitchen is small but has everything you need including a twin-tub washer/dryer and air fryer. Off-road parking on the drive a massive plus. 10min drive to Ally Pally, and super close to the tube for getting into London. Will definitely stay again. Thank you Bill for being a wonderful host!

Bill is very helpful and extremely kind. The flat is spacious and convenient for transport. It is warm even in the coldest weather thanks to Bill's concern about making sure you are comfortable.
There is access to the garden should you be lucky enough to get warm weather.
The kitchen has all mod cons to rustle up a meal.
Highly recommended

Warm and heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Maris. I am pleased that you liked the flat and that your stay was enjoyable. You were a wonderful guest. It was indeed a pleasure to meet you and to have you stay. You will always be welcome back. You left the flat thoroughly clean, and as you found it, which is highly appreciated. I am, indeed, grateful.
More a flat than a studio, and beautifully quiet, considering it's on the A1. 10/10, would recommend.

Thank you, Alison. So pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Hopefully you will return because you will always be welcome at the Cosy Studio Flat.
These are by far the BEST digs I have stayed in. Bill was brilliant, very accommodating when I arrived very late on my first night. He moved his car so I could park on his drive, nothing was too much trouble. The flat was lovely, quiet and private and had everything I needed fot a great stay. Thanks for everything Bill, I will definitely book again when I'm back in London.
