In leafy Golders Green, this apartment puts you steps away from local restaurants, shops, and delis. Even better, the Tube station is less than five minutes on foot, though with Hampstead Heath and Golders Hill Park nearby, you may prefer to stay local. Back home, the communal stairwell doesn't leave the best first impression, but once inside, you'll see why we love this home. The bright living area is perfect for unwinding, and the two bedrooms are cosy and comfortable. But what makes this place really stand out is the private roof terrace. While it's slightly overlooked, it's still a real gem come summertime.

Home truths:
*The roof terrace is private, but it is overlooked by the neighbouring buildings.
*Your host can arrange a window air conditioning unit and portable fans.
*The entrance to this apartment is via a communal staircase that opens onto the street. It isn't well-lit at night and may appear a little worn and dated in parts. You'll need to climb stairs as there isn't a lift in the building.
