Overview
First Impressions
2 Double Bed Apartment Central London sits on a tree-lined stretch of Belsize Road in Camden, and honestly, the location surprised me in the best way. You know how sometimes “central London” can mean a cramped space with traffic noise? Well, this four-star apartment actually feels like you’ve found a quieter pocket of the city while still being properly connected to everything. The building itself has that classic London residential feel — nothing flashy, but solid and welcoming.
The Space That Works
What struck me most was how thoughtfully the space is laid out. The two double beds aren’t crammed into one room like I’ve seen elsewhere — there’s actually breathing room, and the whole place feels more like a proper flat than a hotel room. The kitchen isn’t just for show either; I mean, you can actually cook a decent meal here, which is rare for central London stays. The windows let in good natural light, and you get those lovely glimpses of residential London life that make you feel less like a tourist.
Camden Character
Being in Camden means you’re surrounded by that perfect mix of local life and visitor-friendly spots. There’s a proper supermarket just down the road (not one of those expensive corner shops), and the neighborhood has this lived-in quality that I really appreciate. You can walk to Hampstead Heath if you want some green space, or hop on the tube and be in central areas within 15-20 minutes. The nearby streets have those independent cafes and pubs that actually feel authentic rather than touristy.
Practical Details
The building doesn’t have fancy amenities like a spa or concierge, but what it does have works well. The WiFi is reliable (I worked from here a couple of days), and there’s decent storage space for longer stays. Parking can be a bit tricky on the street, but that’s just London for you — though the transport links more than make up for it. The 7.7 rating feels about right; it’s not trying to be something it isn’t, just delivering solid comfort and functionality.
Why Guests Love It
What keeps people coming back here is the sense of actually living in London rather than just visiting. You’ve got space to spread out, a proper kitchen for those mornings when you want coffee and toast without paying hotel prices, and you’re in a neighborhood where locals actually live. It’s that sweet spot between having your own place and the simplicity of a hotel stay — plus the two double beds make it perfect for families or friends traveling together without anyone getting stuck on a sofa bed.
London’s apartments welcome long stays with terrace views, museum access, and bike routes to hidden mews streets.

"Pleasant"
The transportation is convenient, and there is a convenience store nearby. The old gentleman who opened the door is very kind.
What could be improved: 1. You need to pay a deposit and pay in cash when you check in. Although it has been refunded, there are some problems when the refund is made, which delays a lot of time.Because the deposit refund is transferred to your bank card. 2. The owner of the room communicates online throughout the whole process, and the room is not easy to find, between a row of similar rooms.

"Exceptional"
La localización. La comunicación sencilla y correcta.
Tiene todo lo necesario aunque echamos de menos secador de pelo.
What could be improved: Necesitarás tapones para los oídos ya que el tren pasa justo por al lado y si tienes sueño ligero puede molestar pero por la noche aunque no pasa con mucha frecuencia.

Celkem dobrá lokalita s blízkostí obchodu s potravinami a 700 m k metru. Velká a vybavená kuchyňská linka a lednička.
What could be improved: Pokoj je v přízemí v jedné úrovni s chodníkem, který vede přímo vedle budovy a tak je nutné mít stále zatažené závěsy a není prakticky možné ani mít otevřená okna. S tím se v podstatě počítá. Z druhé strany domu vede frekventovaná nékolikakolejná železniční trať vzdálená jen několik metrů. Naštěstí nám toto zas tolik nevadí.
Na pokoji je jen jedna židle a žádný stůl.
Majiteli jsme nahlásili čas příjezdu a ještě poslali e- mail s dotazem jak se dostaneme do bytu. Sice na vše rychle reagoval ale stejně jsme podle adresy nemohli najít ani správný vchod do domu. Až po opětovném telefonátu nás navigoval k neoznačenému domu a číslu zvonku 26 a přišel nám otevřít starší ochotný pán který se o toto ubytování stará a předal nám klíče.

"Vivamente sconsigliato soprattutto ai miei connazionali! Non andate!"
A parte la posizione abbastanza buona, 10/15 minuti a piedi dalla stazione della metro Swiss Cottage e il bus 31, comodo per raggiungere Notting Hill da una direzione e Camden dall'altra, nient'altro è degno di essere menzionato se non in negativo.
What could be improved: L'appartamento, collocato al piano terra, è estremamente piccolo e scomodo per 4 persone ma anche per 2 persone presenta molte criticità. Prima di tutto la pulizia, Il bagno è davvero fatiscente, lasciato sporco, probabilmente, dagli ospiti precedenti, sia il water che la vasca da bagno. Un tappetino per la doccia che non si sa da quanto tempo non veniva lavato! Nella camera principale c'è un divano letto vecchio, impolverato e costellato da innumerevoli macchie non identificabili e un angolo cottura anch'esso abbastanza sporco e unto in più parti. Abbiamo dovuto pulire e disinfettare tutto. Non c'è nemmeno un tavolo ed una sola sedia che però abbiamo dovuto utilizzare per poggiare uno dei bagagli. L'altra stanza, una minuscola camera da letto, ha una cassettiera e un armadio non perfettamente funzionanti e contenenti biancheria che non è stato possibile utilizzare in quanto anch'essa impolverata e sporca. Abbiamo dovuto comprare lenzuola e federe. A disposizione un solo asciugamano a persona. Le 4 finestre, 2 sulla strada e 2 sul retro -impossibili da aprire perché collocate dietro mobili oppure sulla ferrovia. A peggiorare la situazione la presenza di 2 enormi frigoriferi, di cui uno rotto che doveva essere portato via (così ha riferito l'host) ma di fatto occupava molto dello spazio già insufficiente. Sparsi per l'appartamento, e in vista, secchi, stracci, scope e scopettoni che aumentano il senso di trasandatezza e disordine.
