WE STAYED IN THIS DELIGHTFUL APARTMENT FOR TWO WEEKS IN 0CTOBER 2009. We enjoyed the spacious, light-filled ambience and the comfortable furnishings and bathroom - with lashings of hot water. Not always a factor in UK Rentals in my experience and I'm a Brit! Lynn's advice, directions and descriptions were all accurate and v. helpful. Catherine showed us all the mechanics v. efficiently and the taxi firm they recommend was excellent. Neighbourhood is a fun mix of practical and exotic (well-- a little bit exotic!) and nearby Waterlow Park a pleasant and safe grassy space for solo walks. Northern Line has improved a lot e.g. leave at 9.30 a.m Monday after rush hour and be outside Regent Street shops for opening at 10.00.a.m. Amazed!
If new to London check you are on "the right bit" of the Northern - it divides
and platforms are opposite each other. If you are sitting looking at three Edgeware trains coming in you should be on the High Barnet side!! Canadian husband figured that one out faster!! The flat stairs are accurately described by Lynn and they are manageable for two "oldies" like ourselves so quit whining at the back there all youf'! Carrying heavy "stuff" (or forgetting "Oyster" pass is to be avoided!). Lynn's advice about two smaller suitcases is
well worth your consideration. Otherwise stairs keep you v. fit and you can eat lots from excellent Fish and Chip shop opposite; 500 Italian resto round corner(reservations essential)or Hache in Inverness Street if you go to Camden Town. We hope you all enjoy and we hope to come back! V & B. Huron County, Ontario. |

“Up, Up and Away”. The “Mary Poppins Penthouse
Flat” afforded us a lofty retreat, cozy and
comfortable, with a bird’s eye view of the city of
London but away from the hustle and bustle of the
big city. The Victorian building is a beauty and we
found the neighborhood convenient for our
shopping and eating pleasure. The Tube just up the
block was so convenient. The vendors on the corner
so friendly and helpful and the people around the
area so willing to answer our questions, all added
up to a neighborly feeling. The compact and
efficient fully equipped kitchen, the homey living
room, comfortable bed, modern bathroom, were
warm and inviting to return to and unwind. Even
after trudging miles, going up and down steps
many times a day to travel on the Tube, standing in
long lines to see the sites, the climb to our home
base was worth it. What’s with the “it always rains
in London” bit? It didn’t rain in 12 days. The skies
were blue and the temp perfect. Lynn was so
accommodating and helpful and delightful to work
with in setting up our stay in London that we feel
sure she even managed to order the weather.

We had a marvellous time at Elthorne Court. The flat is really quiet and cosy and well equipped -we found everything we needed. It is also convenient just few steps from the underground and bus stop. The neighborhood is fantastic, from the flat you enjoy an amazing view. London is always exciting and this time we felt part of it and not just tourists.

| This was our first trip to London and what a trip it was! We all fell in love with the city and we all fell in love with this wonderful flat. We made very good use of the tube and all of the very conveniently located shops and restaurants. We actually fooled ourselves into thinking that we were real Londoners as it is impossible to feel like a tourist when you have such a lovely, well-appointed home to call your own. A true gem! |

| Agree with everything the prior commenter says. We stayed in Lynn's flat for two weeks and it was a delightful experience in all respects. Living like real Londoners in a well-equipped flat in a vibrant, diverse neighborhood was much more rewarding than staying in a cramped, artificial hotel room. Convenient to the Tube, grocery shopping, excellent fish and chips and a friendly pub right across the street. Dealing with Lynn was straightforward and a pleasure from the beginning. The flat was a pleasant, relaxing, and comfortable refuge after long days of visiting the magnificent offerings of London. Definitely the way to go! |

Wow, my 20 year old son Gabriel and I stayed at Lynn's amazing penthouse suite apartment "flat" in London, for a week at the end of March, 2009. Everything is true that she and the earlier visitors
noted. Earlier in our trip to London (we are from near Los Angeles) we stayed at a nice downtown hotel. Her apartment is such a better experience, than even a central downtown hotel. The hotel was
OK, but we felt like temporary tourists to the City. While- instead at Lynn's flat- we were part of the experience, interacting with a real neighborhood, shopping for food to cook, or "take away" to bring
back to eat, while we enjoyed the skyline view of London, from the kitchen table. Everything (except the main food items that we bought at the stores right across the street) is provided, so we could
cook a complicated meal, have really soft towels, lounge in the comfortable beds, consult some of the many London books and maps that are in the apartment, use the binoculars to spot famous spots
in London, hook up my son's iPod to her stereo system, or just soak in the tub, after too much running around town.
After doing just that- too much running around London, for the first few days, we actually paced ourselves, and looked for excuses to come back early to the flat, so we could comfortably hang- out,
talk about the cool things that we did, and have a chance to plan out our next day. The time in the apartment became a key part of our trip- gazing out the windows, watching the weather change and
being able to really relax, so we could get the most out of our next day (can't do all this in a hotel). It is really close to the underground stop, which got us anywhere in London within 15 minutes or less.
Also, if you buy the London Oyster card, it limits your underground fees to like a maximum of 3 pounds per day- cheap!
Lynn was so nice with the whole process. I had never done PayPal before- and it was easy. She had Catherine meet us when we first came to the flat- and she explained everything, and presented us
with a nice gift basket of goodies for us to enjoy. As an architect- I really appreciate her flat, and especially the amazing views out the windows. My son and I already miss looking out at the lights. I'm
sure that you will have a great time, as we did- really a special way to experience the real London, as a local! |

This is the way to enjoy London! My husband and I stayed in this beautiful flat in early March 2009 for a week, and loved every minute. It was the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring the city, and it was great having the ability to make our breakfasts each morning (and dinner some nights as well!).
The location is perfect - right on the Northern line, which always seems to have good service. We were able to go all over London easily from this location.
Yes, the stairs can be a bit overwhelming at first, but after the first few trips up them, they DO get easier!
I highly recommend this flat. |

| I had the pleasure of staying in Lynn's flat for two weeks in January 2009. Lynn was a pleasure to deal with right from the initial inquires, payments and return of the damage deposit. The flat was just as advertised everything you could need had been thought of. From the large closets, extra bedding, well equiped kitchen with welcome basket and IPod, laptop chargers. On arrival after a full day of sightseeing the stairs seemed very long but after that it was an easy hike. Three large grocery stores are within two blocks and the local farmers market on Saturdays is not to be missed. Wonderful meat, cheese, breads and vegtables. The tube is ungoing extensive refurbishment and many stations were closed each weekend but the Northern line continued unaffected. I had been concerned about the travel times but found it was 15 - 20 minutes to Charing Cross and the theater district and 20 minutes to Victoria Station. The London Walks offers a Highgate walk on Sunday that is excellent. An easy stroll up Archway Road to the station and then another easy stroll down Highgate High Street back to Archway. |

We loved the flat and its location. We are both runners so having Hampstead Heath close by was a bonus. The amount of storage space for clothes and luggage was impressive. The tube stop, in Zone 2, kept the fares lower and the Northern line is very convenient to the other lines. We enjoyed the restful rooftop views from all rooms of the flat and even on cloudy days, the flat was bright. As it was Guy Fawkes' Day during our visit, we enjoyed nightly fireworks for a whole week! Also appreciated wifi access. As we travel with a laptop, internet access is now a necessity as we were able to do on line bookings for events and save money! Both Lynn (owner)
and Catherine (on-site contact) were extremely helpful and payment by PayPal was very convenient and safe. The flat is very quiet and for the entire time we were there, we did not hear a peep from the neighbours. We will definitely return!

I recently enjoyed a wonderful week in this spacious, light-filled flat. I loved the big soaker bathtub and slept like a baby in the enormous king-sized bed. The views were spectacular!
The flat was well stocked with just about everything a visitor might need, such as a hairdryer, iron and ironing board, umbrellas, maps and guidebooks, free wifi, alarm clock, and lots of kitchen utensils. I especially appreciated the welcome basket of bread, cheese, biscuits, chocolate, milk, juice- it was so nice to have some tea and a bite to eat without having to run out to the shops right away.
The neighbourhood is bustling and diverse with plenty of restaurants and take-aways. A Sainsbury's Local is located just a few steps down the road from the flat, and Archway tube station is only a minute away. There's even a piece done by the famous graffiti artist Banksy on Highgate Hill, just across from the tube station.
Many thanks to both Lynn and Cathy for making the flat such a welcoming and comfortable place to stay. I hope to return someday soon! |

our brief, first stay in london was greatly enhanced
by having this flat as our "home" ~ full of light,
good use of space, well-equipped, and aesthetically
satisfying. my two daughters (25 and 17) and i felt
very comfortable moving about the neighborhood,
and choosing a flat over a hotel helped us feel a bit
like londoners that week. although we met friends
all over the city, we could have comfortably
entertained here. it was an easy distance by tube
from all our gathering and sight-seeing
destinations, and a cozy place to return to after
days and evenings out. it will be our first choice
when we revisit london!

The four of us (2 adults & 2 daughters 22yrs & 17yrs) made this beautiful flat our home for two weeks while in London. It is very comfortable and well apponted. The view is amazing and we often sat there for long periods looking over the skyline. It has excellent access to the tube. It is situated in an interesting neighbourhood that is full of life and has all the amenities you could need. The St John's pub nearby is a great place for a meal and/or a pint. The owner was a pleasure to deal with and was always helpful and prompt in replying to any inquiries. This flat was a great addition to our London holiday.

The linens and bedding were cozy and plentiful. Perhaps the best part of the stay, however, was Lynn--she was amazing to work with and was incredibly responsive to my myriad questions. I would absolutely stay again! |

| We just returned from London. The flat is perfect for a family of 4...you will not go wrong renting it. The views are spectacular-well worth the stairs that others comment about. Restaurants/market available within one minute walk and the tube is also literally a one minute walk away and less than a ten minute ride into the heart of London. Bus service is also right up the street. I would definitely recommend this flat to friends and family, the price is great. You really feel like a local and not a tourist! Great communication with the owner up to the day of arrival. A perfect vacation!! |

| This little flat was our home for a total of three weeks during July and August. We were so warm and comfy during our stay and it was a relief to return each evening - especially after the climb up those stairs! We did get used to them though - there are stairs everywhere in the UK!! So thank you to Lynn and Naomi for such a nice homely place and all your help with all things to do with "London!" |

| We had a great week in this apartment. Lynn was so nice to work with, and totally professional. This was our 6th rental of the summer, and having a warm welcome, a bottle of wine and a goody basket, was such a nice and unusual touch. The apartment was very comfortable, and the shower hot and strong, which we have found is not so common. (Plus lots of towels, also not so common.) Even my 4-year-old got used to the stairs in a day--once you get your luggage up (and, of course, back down), the climb is not bad. And the view is amazing! We hope to be back. . . |

We had a fantastic week in this great flat. The views are spectacular from up there - very soothing to sit by the window and look out while enjoying some of that delicious Indian take-out from down the street.
As previous posters have said, it is a great place. Two minutes from the Tube, plenty of amenities in the neighborhood. This was a nice place where the four of us could crash comfortably after a long day of taking in wonderful London. I'm sure we saved quite a bit of money just by being able to cook our breakfasts and a few of our dinners. This was particularly important given the current state of the US dollar against the British pound!
We DID get our exercise in that week, though, getting to the top of the stairs, so people that have difficulty climbing stairs need to be careful, here. However, if you're in good shape, you are rewarded with the aforementioned, unfettered views.
Highly recommended! |

Our family of four has just spent a wondeful week
holidaying in London. Central to the enjoyment of
our trip was the fact that we were staying in Lynn's
lovely little flat in Archway. As other guests have
already attested, the bed and sofa are really
comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped, the
bathroom has plenty of hot water and the views are
fantastic. Add to that the flat's proximity to the
tube and other amenities and the more than
reasonable price and you simply can't go wrong.
Lynn and Naomi bring a friendly and professional
approach to their enterprise; they were a pleasure
to deal with. We thank them for their hospitality
and look forward to staying again in the future. |

This flat is amazing! My wife and I just stayed there for a week, and we're already missing it as we stay in hotels on the rest of our trip.
On a clear day you can see from St. Paul's all the way across the London skyline to the west, and coming home to a view like that is the perfect way to end a day sightseeing in London.
The shower has plenty of hot water AND good water pressure, the bathtub is nice and deep, and the kitchen fixtures are all in great shape and really easy to use.
It's a two minute walk from the tube, there's some great Indian food in the neighborhood, and there's good pubs as well (which will be better after the 1 July smoking ban comes in!!!).
If you're looking for a "home away from home", you couldn't ask for much better (and for much better rates than most hotels) than this place! |

We have just spent a delightful week in London, thanks to a brilliant public transport system, excellent weather and two amazing women named Lynn and Naomi. The latter two women provided us with a spectacular flat, with excellent value for money, within an easy tube ride of Central London and surrounds. The view from the flat is amazing, and the fully equipped kitchen was most welcome. Sainsbury's market is just across the road, and the cooing pigeons are a rather pleasant way to start the day. A bit of a caveat...DO NOT take large, heavy suitcases, as the Everest-like climb to the flat will be you undoing..HOWEVER, very much like Everest...Once you do make it to the summit, you are rewarded with a spectacular view and the sense that you are in a very private space. A very lovely place run by very wonderful people. Many thanks Lynn...and double that to Naomi whose trouble-shooting skills are second to none. Hopefully, we'll make Archway our residence of choice on future trips.
Cheers!

In fact, it was nicer than the 4 star hotel we stayed at in Paris! The views were spectacular and the location of the flat was extrememly convenient. -Just a couple of blocks to the Tube on a major line that gets you everywhere you need to get to fast! We absolutely loved the entire experience. It felt like we were actually living in London. The neighborhood was great and some of the locals got to know us. There are a lot of nice little restaurants in the area as well! Thanks so much to Lynn and Naomi for making this entire experience so easy and worry free.

Lynn’s lovely flat is certainly one of the reasons my family of four had our best and most enjoyable trip ever! We spent two weeks in London over Christmas and felt like we were leaving home when our time was up. The flat is as bright, comfortable, and welcoming as advertised, and the view from practically the top of London is awesome. There’s enough space for everyone to spread out and even enjoy the kind of privacy you take for granted at home. The neighborhood has everything you could want: wonderful restaurants, grocers, pubs, pharmacy, bakeries, internet cafe, cash machines, tube station, bus stops . . . . Staying at Lynn’s flat made us feel like we were actually living in London, not just sightseeing – that’s a perspective we’re so glad for the kids to have had. The very best part of renting the flat was “dealing with” (read, “getting to know and appreciate”) Lynn. We’re very grateful to her for sharing her home with us. If you’re serious about staying at Lynn’s, please email me so I can share some of my travel tips!

| The apartment was fabulous in every sense of the word-bright, meticulously clean, all of the modern working amenities and truly made our two week trip to London an absolute pleasure! I have and continue to recommend it to friends who plan on travelling there! Owner Lynn is a delight and she and her daughter made the process seamless. Bonuses include the close proximity of the Archway tube station, bus stops and there are a number of great restaurants nearby. I highly suggest dining at St. John's (a mere 5 minute walk which was ranked in London's Time Out at the time of our visit as a must go.) The Indian restaurant a few doors down was stellar! Lynn is to be heartily commended for offering up top notch accommodation and operating it in a highly professional yet at all times winsome, warm and attentive manner. We will indeed be back!!!

| Waking each morning to the London skyline, enjoying coffee and a scone while seated in the comfortable living room, and then making the quick trip to the tube or bus stop to begin a day of seeing the London sights, make this flat convenient and a perfect retreat at the end of a busy day. Local Archway stores made shopping easy. When dining in the efficient and well appointed kitchen we often felt that we were seated at one of the best tables in London. Photographs alone cannot capture this beautiful space. The views from the three large windows made leaving each day a bit difficult but returning each evening exciting. Beyond the look, the feel of the flat is upbeat, cozy, and comfortable. Memories of your gorgeous flat will always highlight our trip to London. |

years, but have never had a guest book. I am beginning to think that this is
important, though, and so, with the writer's permission, am providing the first
entry.
The following comment is from a female from Los Angeles who spent four
weeks in the flat recently.
"I had a magical time in London and did not want to leave. As I told you and
Naomi, the flat was a lovely, comforting place. I had the feeling that someone
had been very happy there. I don't see how they could not have been. I am
truly so glad I was able to stay in it."

I wanted to let you know that everything was perfect! I told my parents they must stay here if when they return to London.
Your daughter is so lovely. She was soo accommodating and really
nice to know that someone was nearby in case of emergency.
This flat is very well located, super close to the tube, Sainsburys, and many shops, etc
Also, worth mentioning is how clean everything was. BUT THE VIEWS ARE HIGHLIGHT. My friends that live in London were envious.
If anyone wants to email about this, please feel free. Tarrah
