First Impressions
The Modern Finchley Apartment with Garden sits on a quiet residential street in Hendon, and honestly, you’d walk right past it if you weren’t looking for the address. It’s tucked into a converted Victorian house at 17A Mountfield Road — one of those unassuming North London spots that locals know but tourists rarely stumble upon. The three-star rating might seem modest, but with a perfect 10 guest rating, there’s clearly something special happening here.
The Space Itself
Walking into this apartment, you immediately get why people rave about it. The modern renovation feels thoughtful rather than flashy — clean lines, plenty of natural light, and that crucial sense of space you don’t always find in London accommodations. The kitchen is actually functional (I mean, you could cook a proper meal here), and there’s this lovely garden access that makes you forget you’re in one of the world’s busiest cities. It’s the kind of place where you can spread out your stuff without playing Tetris with your suitcase.
Location Benefits
Here’s what I really appreciate about Hendon — it’s properly residential, so you’re living like a local rather than being stuck in touristy central London. The Northern line runs straight into the city center from nearby stations, but you’re also close enough to Hampstead Heath for those morning walks that actually clear your head. There’s a Waitrose about ten minutes away, plus those little independent shops that make North London neighborhoods feel authentic rather than sanitized.
What Makes It Work
The garden access is honestly the game-changer here. After a day of navigating crowded tube stations and busy streets, having your own outdoor space — even a small one — feels like a genuine luxury. You can have your morning coffee outside or just sit with a book when you need to decompress. The whole setup feels more like staying at a friend’s place than in typical tourist accommodation, which explains that perfect guest rating.
Why Guests Love It
This isn’t the kind of place you choose for Instagram-worthy photos or concierge services. People book the Modern Finchley Apartment with Garden because they want a proper base in London — somewhere quiet enough to actually sleep, spacious enough to relax, and real enough to feel like you’re experiencing the city rather than just visiting it. At this price point in London, finding a whole apartment with garden access is actually pretty remarkable.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
