Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
such a pleasant stay! yes, its older and the rooms are small, and since you read the "about" section, you know that before you book. blocks away from hampstead heath for a vigerous hike or run. around a few corners from the holly bush, whose sunday roasts are amazing. the haddock and scallop pie at the flask is not to be missed. and the brick oven pizzaria on heath street is devine, with a carafe of wine at £15! it must be said, lorenzo is the ultimate host and will be happy to hear all about your adventures and whatever else youve done during your stay! the vibe is home away from home, and many of the guests were clearly returning, some from months before or years before and lorenzo remembers them all! tip from the lovely deka, who hosts your breakfasts and doubles as the housekeeper... when arriving with luggage, take the bus up the hill. save youself the hastle of the stone sidewalks! you can catch it right outside the hampstead stop on the northern line and will drop you the block past the hotel. looking forward to the next time i can stay with the la gaffe family!!!

Fantastic little B&B in a beautiful and well connected part of London. A fantastic range of restaurants around the area also added to it. Personal touch and thoughtful enquiry by the staff and owners were the cherry on top.
