Things to Know
Minimum stay: 2 nights, with 2 weeks at Easter. Please note that the house has many stairs and no stair gates. The loft room is more suited to children due to the low ceilings. The communal garden is a safe area for young children and only used by the residents who back onto the garden. There is free parking on the street outside but no private parking. Car rental is useful but not essential. Cribs, high chairs, a stroller and baby toys can be provided.

Style Notes
Modern Scandinavian. The house has been recently renovated to a high specification featuring a mix of Scandinavian and industrial decor. The kitchen features bespoke, handmade cabinets, concrete floors, marble and steel countertops and exposed brickwork. A wall of windows creates an inviting scene into the garden, which featured beautiful old fig trees, poppies and alliums. The house has a sophisticated color palette of dark greys, mustard and bottle green, with light touches of painted tiles and brickwork walls. We love the toy-packed yet still stylish kids rooms, the flamingo-print wallpaper and the shaggy cushions.

Crouch End, London
Playgrounds and art house cinema
This arty North London neighborhood is very popular with local families, who come to watch art house cinema with the kids at the Picturehouse cinema (really!) and play in Alexandra Palace park. This little urban village has all the charms you’d hope for too - a local bakery, butchers and independent shops. There is no Tube link but bus routes can help you reach the heart of the city in half an hour or so.
