First Impressions
Climbing up to BnBNova – 3BR Penthouse with Terrace in Camden feels a bit like discovering a secret — you’re right in the thick of one of London’s most creative neighborhoods, but once you step inside, everything gets surprisingly calm. The four-star penthouse sits perfectly between the buzz of Camden Market and the quieter Georgian streets that most tourists miss entirely.
The Space
Honestly, calling it just an apartment feels like underselling it. The three bedrooms are genuinely spacious (rare for London, trust me), and each room has that lived-in comfort that makes you forget you’re staying somewhere temporary. The kitchen is what really sold me though — it’s actually equipped for proper cooking, not just reheating takeaway.
But here’s the thing everyone raves about: that terrace. You know what? It’s not massive, but it gives you this perfect perch over Camden’s rooftops where you can actually breathe. I spent most mornings out there with coffee, watching the neighborhood wake up below.
Location & Neighborhood
Camden gets written off as just a tourist market sometimes, but staying here for a few days, you realize there’s so much more happening. The Tube station is maybe three minutes away, which means central London is ridiculously easy to reach. What I loved was how walkable everything felt — Regent’s Park for morning runs, proper pubs tucked down side streets, and yes, Camden Market when you want that classic London experience.
The street itself is quieter than you’d expect. It’s residential enough that you’re not dealing with crowds right outside your door, but lively enough that there’s always something interesting happening nearby.
Practical Stuff
The owners clearly know what travelers actually need. There’s decent Wi-Fi throughout, parking sorted if you’re driving (which I wouldn’t recommend in Camden, but still), and they’ve thought through those little details that make a difference. Clean towels that don’t feel like sandpaper, a shower with proper water pressure, heating that actually works — you know, the basics that some places somehow mess up.
Check-in was straightforward too. No waiting around or complicated key exchanges, just clear instructions and everything ready when promised.
Why Guests Love It
Look, it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in London, but it nails what most people actually want: space to spread out, a real neighborhood feel, and that terrace where you can decompress after days of sightseeing. The 8.2 rating makes sense — it’s solid, reliable, and gives you a proper taste of living in London rather than just visiting it. If you’re traveling with friends or family and want somewhere that feels more like a temporary home than a hotel room, this place delivers.
Hotels in London dot historic Covent Garden, royal squares, and creative quarters brimming with artisan markets.
