Overview
First Impressions
The Charming 2 bed apartment Free WiFi close to Camden sits on Fortess Road, and honestly, the name tells you everything you need to know — this is exactly what it promises. It’s one of those apartment rentals that feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a hotel, which is actually perfect if you want to experience London like a local rather than a tourist.
The Space
What struck me first was how the two-bedroom setup gives you real breathing room — something that’s pretty rare in London without paying through the nose. The kitchen is properly equipped, not just a mini-fridge and kettle situation, so you can actually cook if you want to save money or just fancy a proper breakfast. Each room has character without being overly fussy, and the WiFi (as advertised) works reliably throughout the place.
Camden Connection
Here’s the thing about the location — you’re close enough to Camden Market to walk there in about ten minutes, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with the weekend crowds outside your window. I mean, Camden can get pretty intense, especially on Sundays when everyone and their mother is browsing the stalls. From here, you get the best of both worlds: easy access to the action, but a quiet street to come back to.
Getting Around
The transport links are what make this place work really well. Camden Road station is practically around the corner, and that gets you into central London faster than you’d expect. Plus, you’ve got multiple tube lines within walking distance if you prefer the Underground. Parking isn’t really an option around here — well, street parking exists but it’s a nightmare — so definitely plan on using public transport.
Why Guests Love It
What guests consistently mention is how this unique boutique hotel without official star rating manages to feel both independent and comfortable. You’re not getting daily housekeeping or a concierge, but you are getting space to spread out and the freedom to come and go as you please. The area has some brilliant local pubs and cafes that most tourists never discover, and the Sunday farmers market on Inverness Street is genuinely worth checking out. It’s the kind of place where you actually feel like you’re living in London for a few days rather than just visiting it.
Guest reviews
"Excellent Kentish Town Location"
The property was very clean and the location was outstanding! Several pubs, restaurants, and market very close by, as well as a Thameslink and Tube station very close, but Tube stop is currently (July 2024) closed for renovations.
What could be improved: What was great about the location is also bad, as it’s a very loud neighborhood, so hard to sleep at night. This is no fault of anyone, just bring earbuds. It’s a trade off between convenience and quiet, I prefer convenience.

"A home from home."
Very close to Camden market and other markets within a walking distance. Easy accessibility to Euston and King Cross stations.
What could be improved: Just the traffic noise from the road close to the house. Aside this, everything was perfect.

"My family and I had a fabulous stay close to everywhere."
A super clean apartment in a good location. My family had a wonderful stay, although a little noisy at night which was due to the proximity to the street. I would definitely stay there again.
What could be improved: The washing machine was not working but Steven directed us to take our clothes to a laundromat at his expense which was very kind of him. Every other thing was perfect. Also I had a problem while booking the apartment as my credit card was debited twice. I called the customer service and they told me the fault was not from them, the problem is yet to be rectified by my bank. I pray I get refunded soon.

"Great stay!!"
We didn’t actually stay at this apartment due to a leak on the day we were due to arrive! We were very quickly however swapped to another apartment reasonably in the same area. The host was kind enough to arrange a 10% refund due to additional travel costs (we were a little further from the nearest station and due to one member of the group not being able to walk long distances this meant additional Ubers etc)
What could be improved: Stairs were a challenge! But meant we got our steps in everyday! The hallway was a little dishevelled and messy but the apartment was lovely. The shower lacked water pressure but was hot.

"Some generosity should have be shown by the owner."
It was clean nd comfortable
What could be improved: It was very noisy as we had the apartment on second floor. Stairs were very narrow it was very difficult to take the luggage. Bedrooms were very small no side tables. Due to thin walls lot of disturbance from neighbouring apt nd noise of traffic from the street ,had to take sleeping pills.
Kitchen was equipped but no oil sugar. Toiletries were there for one day as we were four people for five days. We requested the concerned but they did not answer.

"Nice apartment in Kentish-town, very close to Tube. suitable for a short stay."
location is the strong point of this apartment: very close to Tube and Thameslink. walking distance to Camden Town. close to the Forum theater if you plan to stay for a Shaw or concert.
variety of nice Restaurants and Stores very close by.
comfortable beds (if you will be able to sleep). clean room. door code entry makes life easy.
free and working Wi-Fi.
nice living room, dining table ang kitchen.
good heating in the apartment and constant warm water for shower.
communication is good with the owner.
What could be improved: Steep and narrow climbing to the second floor - not easy with large/heavy suitcases.
Annoying squeaking noise from the ceiling and the floor when neighbors walking or moving around. very low noise-isolation. doors squeaking and needs maintenance. no dressers beside the beds. no shelves or drawers for storing your belongings - only few hangers in a small closet space. no reading lamps. no storage space in the bathroom. slippery bath.
