Spread over three levels, this modern mews house provides a great stay whether you're travelling for work or leisure. The small garden lies between the two living rooms, so there's plenty of space for groups to spread out, and the large windows and bedroom balcony let in lots of natural light and fresh air. Parking here might be tricky, but there's plenty to do within walking distance. Hampstead Heath offers some of London's best views, and Kentish Town train station lets you traverse the city with ease.

Home truths
Your host can provide cots and high chairs for free here if you're travelling with little ones, but you'll need to bring your own linen and mattress for the cot.
There may be packs of spare bed linen at this home, but they're off-limits to guests without permission from your host.
This home may have a security camera monitoring certain areas of the home. These won't be in private spaces like bedrooms or bathrooms, though.
This home is a detached property close to a main road, so there is a chance you might hear some noise during your stay.
One of the bedrooms has a Juliet balcony with no space to step out onto. Another bedroom does have a proper balcony with space, though.

Local guide
About Kentish Town
Just North of Camden Town, this eclectic hub is known for its trendy and sophisticated lifestyle as well as excellent transport links. There is a real community feel in amongst the Victorian terraces, independent boutiques and stores, and the beautiful Hampstead Heath is within walking distance. Head to The Lion & Unicorn for a traditional British pub experience with a difference – enjoy a pint while watching a play upstairs. For evenings, the stylish French bistro Patron Cave à Manger is a must visit for cocktails and exquisite food.
