YOU MUST READ House Rules, Additional Rules, Guest Access,Check-in/out - so that there are NO SURPRISES.

The neighbours are lovely, polite, considerate. The building is safe, peaceful, tranquil. You will love its serene atmosphere. The building management evict anyone whose behaviour is not in line with community's standards of thoughtful, caring, cooperative living.
If you intend to party, please save yourself the unnecessary eviction distress by booking elsewhere. This property is extremely unsuitable for loud gatherings

2) ACCESS
Rarely, the building maintenance require access to individual apartments for tasks mandated by UK government law. These activities are non-negotiable and beyond control of both the building and the host. They usually involve essential safety checks (fire alarm testing, water safety verification, radiator inspections...)
In the UNLIKELY event that such task is scheduled during your stay, you will have to grant access to the flat. The duration varies (minutes, hours, a day or, rarely, longer). The likelihood of this affecting your stay is extremely low, but if it happens, compliance is mandatory. These are strict UK Health&Safety legal requirements that ALL UK BUILDINGS must follow

We are not a hotel and the check-in and check-out times must be followed.
We CANNOT check you IN after 9pm, or before 5pm.
Check-OUT is strictly by 10am

These times can VERY RARELY be altered - but this depends on the guests checking out before you, and guests checking in after you - and so it is different for every booking.
If you need to - please make sure to check this WELL IN ADVANCE

4) PRICING
You are charged fairly, based on ACTUAL expenses.
Most places charge fixed rates, based on MAXIMUM allowed guests. But we adjust rates to reflect the ACTUAL number of guests. Fewer guests mean our costs are lower, so we lower our nightly rate. Additional charges only apply if extra expenses are incurred (i.e. additional guests)

For 1-2 guests, this 2-bedroom flat is priced as a 1-bedroom flat. Only 1 double bedroom will be set up
1-2 people = 1 double bed
b)
To have the second bedroom set up too, book for 3 people
3 people = 1 double bed + 1 single bed
c)
To have a third bed set up in the living room, book for 4 people. This is a proper single bed, not a pull-out sofa
4 people = 1 double bed + 2 single beds

If you need 2 bedrooms - please make sure to book 2 bedrooms.
If you book 1 bedroom - the second bedroom will NOT be accessible.
PLEASE NOTE that you will only have access to what you book

. PLACES OF INTEREST

SITES - To the north and east of Hampstead is London's largest ancient park, Hampstead Heath, with the well-known and legally-protected view of the London skyline from Parliament Hill. The Heath has 3 open-air public swimming ponds (1 for men, 1 for women, 1 mixed), originally reservoirs for drinking water and the sources of the River Fleet. The bridge is known locally as 'The Red Arches' or 'The Viaduct', built in fruitless anticipation of residential building on the Heath in the 19th century. Local activities include open-air concerts in summer on the slopes below Kenwood House, the FT Weekend Festival, book & poetry readings, fun fairs on the lower reaches of the Heath, period harpsichord recitals @ Fenton House, Hampstead Scientific Society and Hampstead Photographic Society. The largest employer in Hampstead is the Royal Free Hospital, Pond Street, but many small businesses based in the area have international significance. George Martin's AIR recording studios (converted church premises, Lyndhurst Road), is a current example, as Jim Henson's Creature Shop was before it relocated to California. The area has remarkable architecture, such as the Isokon building in Lawn Road, a Grade I listed experiment in collective housing, once home to Agatha Christie, Henry Moore, Ben Nicholson, Walter Gropius. Recently restored by Notting Hill Housing Trust

In the opening sequence, Reid's character June wandering through the streets and alleyways of Hampstead, Heath Street and The Mount Square. The Marquis of Granby pub, in which June drinks, was actually The Holly Bush, at 22 Holly Mount.

Some scenes from An American Werewolf in London (1981) are shot on Hampstead Heath, Well Walk and Haverstock Hill. Kenwood House is the set of Notting Hill (1999). Outdoor scenes in The Wedding Date (2005), starring Debra Messing, show Parliament Hill Fields on the Heath, which also features in Notes on a Scandal (2006) together with the nearby Gospel Oak and Camden Town. Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) shows the old Hampstead Town Hall on Haverstock Hill. The film Scenes of a Sexual Nature (2006) was filmed entirely on Hampstead Heath, showing picturesque locations such as the Floating Gardens and Kenwood House. A musical set in the area, Les Bicyclettes de Belsize (1968), is a story of a young man's cycle journey around Hampstead and falling in love with the fashion model in it. The war film Allied (2016) with Brad Pitt & Marion Cotillard, began on the corners of Christchurch Hill & Willow Road in Hampstead. In 2017 - film Hampstead (Diane Keaton & ‎Brendan Gleeson), a true story about Harry Hallowes who first squatted on the site in 1987 after being evicted from his council flat in Highgate. Hallowes (died at 88 in 2016) battled for legal rights to the land on which he had built his shelter arguing that he had gained ownership by adverse possession. He was eventually awarded title to 7,000 sq ft. The list goes on.
