Fantastic New, London Apartment 3 Bed 1 Bath & Parking
First Impressions
Fantastic New, London Apartment 3 Bed 1 Bath & Parking caught my attention immediately when I spotted that dedicated parking space — honestly, if you’ve ever tried to park in North London, you’ll know that’s worth its weight in gold. The property sits on a quiet residential street in Whetstone, and I mean genuinely quiet, not that “quiet but actually next to a main road” kind of quiet you sometimes get with rental descriptions.
Location & Getting Around
Whetstone isn’t exactly central London, but that’s actually part of its charm — you get proper suburban peace while still being connected to the action. The Totteridge & Whetstone tube station is about a 10-minute walk, and from there it’s a straight shot on the Northern line into central London. What I really appreciated was having a Tesco and a few local cafes within walking distance, so you’re not completely dependent on takeaways or expensive hotel food.
The Space Itself
This three-star apartment genuinely feels like someone’s actual home rather than a sterile rental property. The three bedrooms are a proper size — I’ve stayed in London places where “bedroom” meant “space for a single bed and nothing else,” but here you can actually unpack your suitcase. The single bathroom works fine for a family or group, though obviously there might be some morning queue management required.
Practical Comforts
The kitchen is where this place really shines, actually — it’s fully equipped, not just the bare minimum you sometimes get. I made proper meals here, which saved a fortune compared to eating out for every meal in London. The living area feels lived-in and comfortable, with decent seating and a TV that actually works properly (you’d be surprised how often that’s not the case). Small touches like having enough towels and basic toiletries made it feel like someone had actually thought about what guests might need.
Why Guests Love It
Look, this isn’t going to wow you with fancy amenities or concierge service, but it delivers exactly what it promises. The 8.3 rating makes perfect sense when you consider what you’re getting — a proper London base that doesn’t break the bank, with the bonus of that parking space and enough space to spread out. It’s particularly brilliant for families or groups who want to experience London without cramming into tiny hotel rooms or paying central London prices. The suburban setting means kids can actually play outside safely, while adults appreciate being able to cook breakfast instead of paying £15 for hotel toast.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
