I provide accommodation in a cosy and quiet flat just moments from vibrant Green Lanes with its restaurants, Finsbury Park and excellent transport links into town.

The space
The accommodation consists of a private double bedroom within a flat shared with me (I live here). It provides a double sofa-bed and is fully furnished offering a welcoming and friendly stay with privacy and comfort.
Guests will have access to the kitchen and the bathroom is shared with me.
The flat is in a great location just moments from vibrant Green Lanes, Harringay, and within walking distance to Finsbury Park, Crouch End and not far from Muswell Hill with Alexandra Palace which has the most fantastic view over London.

THE ROOM
A lovely, clean and spacious double room with a comfortable sofa bed. The room has Freeview TV, Hifi, chest of drawers, a desk with office chair and a built-in wardrobe.
The flat is situated on the very popular Harringay Ladder off Green Lanes in North London. A multicultural area Harringay Green Lanes is a very dynamic and exciting neighbourhood with an impressive selection of shops and restaurant including some of the best Turkish restaurants in the capital.
The main part of Green Lanes, known as the Grand Parade, is lined with coffee shops, 24 hr local supermarkets, charity shops to rummage in and classic English pubs including The Salisbury, which is a Grade II listed pub.
Wood Green shopping area is not far with Shopping Centre & 2 Cinemas as well as Finsbury Park just a few minutes walk away for those sunny days.
I have lived in this area for many years and can provide you with information and guidance during your stay in London.
I maintain an organised, tidy and clean home, offering fresh bedlinen and towels during your stay and appreciate tidy, respectful and polite guests. This is my home, so I kindly ask that guests are considerate during their stay respecting my privacy in common areas and treat it as such.

Also available free of charge are:
- tea/coffee
- hairdryer
- iron/ironing board

Breakfast can be provided by arrangement against a small extra charge.

Very good transport links into town:
- It's about a 10-15 minutes walk (I walk about 15 mins as I am not a fast walker, most people do it faster) or 4 busstops to Manor House tube station which is in zone 2. From there you have Piccadilly Line through to the West End and all the way to Heathrow Airport
- 2 mins to the bus stop down the road from where to catch 3 bus services (No. 29 takes you all the way to Trafalgar Square and runs all night)
- Good Overground links to South East and North West London
- Tottenham Hale station not far from where to take the Stansted Express
- Short-term parking available at discretion, please enquire prior to booking

I look forward to welcoming you to my home!
Please feel free to message me with any questions

Guest access
Guests are welcome to use the kitchen and I allow smoking in the kitchen, even so I have given up now :)
but absolutely no smoking or eating in the bedroom!

During your stay
I'm very happy to interact with my guests but some guests don't want the interaction and much rather want to be left alone which you pick up on pretty much right away. I then respect their privacy.

Other things to note
Arrival and departure times have to be negotiated for each booking to suit the guest and also me. I am mostly quite flexible as I work from home quite a bit but not all the time.
When I'm out then check-in generally after 7pm as that's generally when I get back.
If I am working from home then earlier check-in is available, so please enquire nearer the time.

Neighborhood highlights

I absolutely adore this area with the hussle and bussle on Green Lanes and its lovely turkish restaurants which serve delicious, fresh and cheap food and all the shops, Finsbury Park just a few minutes down the road for a lovely stroll on a sunny day, then Wood Green with its shopping and 2 Cinemas just a few busstops away, and not to forget 'Alexandra Palace' which is one of my favourite places in the whole of London with its view across the whole of the city.

I decided to host people in my spareroom who are travelling and looking for somewhere affordable to stay. I love travelling, meeting new people and know what it’s like when you want to go somewhere but are strapped for cash and staying in a hotel is working out too expensive. As well as being a lot more affordable than a hotel I find it’s also a nice way of getting to know someone new who also knows the surroundings and can pass on local knowledge and insider tips.
