About this house rental

With 3 spacious bedrooms (Bedroom 1 - Double sofa bed, Bedroom 2 - King bed, Bedroom 3 - Small double bed plus single fold up bed) the house sleeps a maximum of 6 people with one main bathroom with walk-in shower, bath tub & WC and additional cloakroom with WC & sink .
The house has amazing transport links by tube or bus to Soho/Central London and Kings Cross & Victoria stations.
It has a pretty, south facing private garden with table and chairs and an outdoor chimenea/BBQ and inside has all mod cons (washer/dryer, dishwasher, TV with DVD player and Netflix and a wood burner. With a large, light kitchen/living area with two couches it's a great house for families, small groups, couples or business travellers.
HOUSE MANUAL
KEYS
There will be 2 sets of front door keys for guests in the house. If I'm unavailable to greet you I will leave one set of front door keys in the key safe and text you the code before arrival.
There is also a larger set of keys which are for the basement level doors - two gold keys for the two metal gates and two silver keys for the basement front door plus a smaller key for the back/garden door. There will be a duplicate of this garden key left in the garden door itself for easy access.
Please keep both the metal security gates and the garden door locked when you go out out or when you go to bed at night, for your safety.
In the event of losing both sets (unlikely, I hope!) I keep a set with a neighbour.
HOT WATER/HEATING
There is a thermostat which controls central heating/radiators located on the wall in the hallway by the bathroom. The hot water supply in the house is constant so will be on at all times.
PLEASE do not adjust heating or hot water via the kitchen boiler. Please only adjust heating via the thermostat in the upstairs hallway. It is quite simple to operate /change but there are instructions in the box in the bathroom cupboard.
TV/DVD/NETFLIX
To use any of these, first switch on the power for each appliance on the six-way plug adaptor which is behind the TV.
On this six way adaptor there are separate plug switches for the TV, the Freeview Box, the DVD machine and the little black Amazon Firestick
(for Netflix)
For main TV (which is basic freeview TV with UK channels/Film 4 and limited digital channels) first use the long, black remote control to switch the main TV on, using the red button.
Then use the SOURCE button on the big black remote control - its the button above the green and yellow buttons - to switch to Firestick or HDMI (then use the small fire stick remote to change channels or select a streaming service. Im subscribed to Netflix, Amazon and many more.
You also use the long, black remote for the TV volume or to switch the TV on/off.
DVD
Just switch the DVD player on via the main 'on' button and use the other small black remote.
AMAZON FIRESTICK/NETFLIX
Use this small black remote to switch on Netflix/ Amazon/BBC I-Player and other providers and navigate the menu. It also responds to voice commands when searching for films/programmes.
When going out/going to bed please switch off all these devices at source
(ie the plugs on the adaptor) It saves energy and is safer when these flatscreen TVs are not left on standby.
RUBBISH/RECYCLING
Rubbish is collected on the street outside the house, early on alternative Tuesday mornings. Otherwise the rubbish can stay in the black bin until the following week.
Recycling is collected EVERY Tuesday morning.
Please use the black bin bags (located in second drawer next to fridge/freezer) for rubbish and place in black plastic bin outside.
On Monday nights or early Tues morn (before 7am) please put any full rubbish bags in black bin and green recycling box on street outside house for collection (if you can remember, of course!)
OVEN/COOKER
The hob has five gas rings controlled by the five knobs on the front right
The big main fan oven and top grill oven are electric. The main fan oven is controlled by the far left switch and the smaller top oven and grill is controlled by the second and third knob from the left.
WASHING MACHINE
Switch machine ON. Load machine. Put powder/liquid in drawer or into machine itself. Choose a wash. Shut door and press START.
DISHWASHER
Open dishwasher . Load dishwasher tablet and click the tablet slot shut.
Press ON (the top left of dishwasher door) then press the 'P' until you get the programme you need. I find P5 is best (quickest) but choose P6 or P7 for really dirty plates!
Then press the '>' symbol and then just close door shut to start the programme.
With 3 spacious bedrooms (Bedroom 1 - Double sofa bed, Bedroom 2 - King bed, Bedroom 3 - Small double bed plus single fold up bed) the house sleeps a maximum of 6 people with one main bathroom with walk-in shower, bath tub & WC and additional cloakroom with WC & sink .

Geraldine was great and the house is charming. Cozy and clean, with everything we needed.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
First, Geraldine was great. Although we never met, we spoke before our departure, and she was readily available by text during our stay. The house is lovely with super comfy beds and a charming backyard garden. The neighborhood is good as far as easy access to public transportation and a short walk to Camden. Great mysic at the Jazz cafe and Blues Kitchen bar.

We had a delightful stay in this beautiful and cozy home. The common living areas provided ample space for the 3 of us to chat, read, or work, and the lighting is great throughout the house. The kitchen is well set up for light cooking (loved the cookbooks!). the location was perfect - we could go everywhere via the 24 bus (stop around the corner) or tube (a 10-15 minute walk). Our host Geraldine was very helpful and accommodating. We'd love to return!

Lovely house, warm, clean, well maintained, secure and comfortable (we stayed over Christmas and new year to be with family who live in Primrose Hill - a 15-20 min walk away). There was everything we needed for preparing and cooking family meals in a family room kitchen/ dining/ sitting room so whoever was cooking was part of the conversation . Beds and bedrooms comfortable. Kitchen and bathroom clean and spacious with plenty of hot water. Very efficient heating. TV with extras (Netflix, Amazon) . A steady walk to tube station, shops and pubs nearby. Parking on weekdays proved a bit of a problem finding somewhere as you can’t park outside without a permit, but weekends and bank holidays you can park outside. House on 3 floors so lots of stairs. Lovely enclosed back garden area (even had a Christmas tree with lights!). Owner very helpful and accommodating. Great place to base yourself for easy access to central London. Really enjoyed our stay.
