The apartment was absolutely wonderful...spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Comfortable beds, lots of hot water, responsive heating...these are not things to take for granted! Added bonuses were the walls hung with great art and the varied and interesting library. Alex is a great host and responded quickly to a couple of questions we had. The neighbourhood is lovely and feels very safe. Hope to return one day!

Wonderful experience

Great hosts, thorough instructions, helpful tips for the area, close to bus routes and underground. Quaint house with rooftop deck. Steep stairs to deck but it has a distant view of downtown London and comfortable seating. We had a lovely stay!

An Oasis in a busy city

Our stay was brilliant! Impeccably clean and communication was outstanding. The store, the coffee shop and the off license are a short walk. After being downtown all day it was a welcome quiet and well done space to retreat to.

Fantastic accomodations

The flat was well appointed, clean and pleasing to the eye. Pretty and quiet neighborhood with close access to the tube. Alex was super nice, quick to respond and was very accommodating by providing us with an air bed, extra sheets, towels and pillow for the 4th person that was added to our party. Overall a fantastic stay. Highly recommend.

Quaint and perfect

I was looking for quaint and quiet away from Central London and this is it!! Exactly as advertised and even better in person.The roof deck is not to be missed and the neighborhood and hosts are simply wonderful. Beds are comfortable, flat is clean, organized and full of interesting art and books. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. There are a few small food shops within a short walk and an excellent bakery around the corner. Larger markets are a walk into town 20 mins.

Perfect flat to explore London!

Absolutely loved this charming flat and would stay again in a heartbeat! Close walking distance to several Tube lines, a charming café and the delightful neighborhoods of Crouch End and Highgate, yet super quiet area for relaxing after being in the hub of London all day. I am a very light sleeper and was so grateful that the place was so quiet. Alex gave us super-helpful recommendations and was easy to communicate with and get in touch with. House was comfortable, good beds, plenty of hot water, charming rooftop garden where we sat out in the sun! Check in and check out very easy. Thank you, Alex!

Great time in London

Alex is a very nice host and the flat lives up to its promise. Comfortable beds and everything you need in the kitchen and living room. The location is also very good. Very nice and quiet residential area but with bus and underground in 30-40 minutes in the centre. Supermarket, cafés and restaurants are even within walking distance.

About the host

Hosted by Alex Grimwood

Host profile image
A little bit about us: Isadora is a musician, a cellist, and I originally trained as an actor here in London many years ago. We actually met while studying, and London has been a huge part of our lives ever since. Isi is originally from Chile, and although we travel whenever we can, London is very much home for both of us.

I’ve lived all over the city during the past 25 years at one point even on a narrowboat on the Grand Union Canal, drifting from east to west! Isi has been here five years now, and together we’ve really fallen in love with this beautiful pocket of north London.

We currently spend much of our time in south London because Isi’s little boy goes to school there, which is why we’ve chosen to holiday-let our Highgate apartment. And truthfully, we absolutely love hosting. It’s such a joy meeting the wonderful people who come to stay with us, hearing their stories, and making sure they have a perfect London experience. We take pride in offering warm, thoughtful hospitality and genuinely enjoy welcoming every guest who walks through our door.

It’s a pleasure to share our home with you.

Why they chose this property


The apartment is set in a very quiet tree lined street and a few minutes walk from beautiful Highgate and trendy Couch End. The location couldn’t be better. You’re in a peaceful conservation area, and just a short stroll to Archway tube. You can wander to Crouch End with all its cosy cafés, bars, restaurants and cinemas, or head the other way to the beautiful village of Highgate with its parks, pubs and historic cemetery. Hampstead Heath is close too if you fancy a long walk.

What makes this property unique

We love our apartment, it really is a little gem. Set in a gorgeous Edwardian building, you walk through this wonderfully grand communal hallway that immediately gives you that “London charm” feeling. Inside, the apartment is a duplex, so it feels like your own mini-home rather than a typical flat living room, kitchen and hallway downstairs, and the bedrooms tucked quietly upstairs.

Climb one more short flight and you reach the private roof terrace, where you can look out across the London skyline. It’s especially lovely at sunrise or sunset, a perfect spot for a quiet coffee or a glass of wine.

It’s a place full of character, calm and charm, a genuine London retreat that feels welcoming the moment you arrive.
