Photos and Description of the London vacation apartment rental 2 bedroom self-catering holiday rental with large garden near Eurostar terminal

Yobaba Lounge's London location is a good sized 2 bedroom apartment on the top (3rd) floor of Dalmeny Mansions, an imposing Victorian mansion block overlooking private gardens at the back. Tufnell Park is a leafy residential area in the heart of London in the Camden and Islington region, proud of its mix of cultures from all over the world. The apartment was renovated a few years ago using only non-toxic materials. With wooden floors, polished plaster walls, and quirky furnishing, this flat was our first and established the unique style of the Yobaba Lounge destinations. Vaguely ethnic, a bit worn around the edges, very bohemian and nourishing to the soul, Yobaba Lounge at Dalmeny Mansions will get you feeling the London vibe from the moment you arrive. Famous Jazz venues, a lively music, pub and restaurant scene, as well as retail opportunities of every imaginable kind are within walking distance, as are grocery store, supermarket, bank, public transport and everything else.

Perfect holiday apartment

Piccadilly Greater Munich, Germany
Review Submitted: June 21, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We had a fantastic seven day's stay in Yobaba Lounge. The apartment is extremely clean and very well equipped with the utmost comfort in mind. Beds most comfortable, great view, plus Internet connection, lots of interesting books, plenty of CDs...
We felt at home within a few hours of being there. All in all, the apartment really was true to the pictures and descriptions online. No disappointments.
The location is fantastic for exploring London. Beside the tube plenty of buses are running into the centre.
Only a few stations from Tufnell Park, St. Pancras International is a good start for a day's out (e.g. Brighton).
Gertrud provided excellent customer service, right from the first contact. She is very professional, friendly and helpful. We got a warm welcome and she also left us a thoughtful "starter-pack" upon our arrival - a nice touch.
I would definitely recommend the apartment to friends and I would return for my next visit.

Little Gem

Newport Uschi Sydney, Australia
Review Submitted: May 7, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
I stayed at Yobaba Lounge with my parents, husband and teenage son over Easter 2009 for 3 days.
Loved that space! Very bohemian decor, good size bedrooms with plenty of storage, even for a long term stay, good size and very functional kitchen, good bathroom (no bath, shower only), separate toilet, open fire place in the living room, bright and airy with beautiful views over the gardens at the back and the rooftops of London. As it was only recently renovated (2009), everything is clean, tidy, fresh and in working order (including the washing machine). The 2 double beds are incredibly comforable to sleep in.
Nearest tube station was a very leisurely, level 10 minute walk away. From here you get via the Northern Line to anywhere in central London within 15-20 minutes. Buy a day ticket. We even walked to Camden Markets. It took 35-40 minutes.
You do NOT need a car. In fact you would find it difficult to park it during the week, should you have one. But again, just ask the owner. She is a fountain of wisdom when it comes to help, suggestions and hot tips.
Neighbourhood is very nice, clean and safe. Convenience store right next to the station for all your essentials.
Its fantastic value for money and would suit families travelling with small or teenage children. There is plenty of room for some more rollaways if you need them. Just ask the owner, she will be very happy to provide them for you (add cost).
Elderly people might need help with their luggage to get to the third floor. Again please ask them for assistance, they are only too happy to help.
Its also perfect for two couples travelling together or for travellers who simply love the space and tranquility (yes you can open the windows and hear the birds) of an apartment and are sick of your standard hotel rooms and the lack of space that comes with it.
Perfect for longer term stays also.
I give it 10 out of 10. Little Gems like this are hard to find and we found one ! Exceptional value for money.
I am also a Travel Agent and have added this one to my "hot tips" list for London.

Beautifully decorated appartment

Chiroto Amsterdam, Holland
Review Submitted: May 6, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
The way in which this apartment is decorated is very inspiring. It is located in a beautiful and quiet street, only a 10 minutes walk away from the underground, shops and restaurants. Both bedrooms were very comfortable, allowing good and quiet sleep. On arrival there were already some fresh groceries available to start us off. We arrived by car and parking vouchers were already arranged for us. The reception was most warm and friendly. And very important, my kids (8, 11 and 14 years of age) loved it over there.

Amazing and different place to stay!

Ratty1 East Sussex
Review Submitted: April 30, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Lovely and individual apartment, great for people who are sick of boring interiors of hotels and the usual rental accomodation. Gertrud is really welcoming and left us everything we would need. There were lovely details all over the apartment. Great location, near camden but very quiet. Can't praise it highly enough.

Schönes Appartment in ansprechender Lage

Fantastic4 Kaiserslautern, Germany
Review Submitted: June 4, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Vielen Dank nochmal für den schönen Aufenthalt in der idyllischen, freundlich eingerichteten Ferienwohnung! Morgens nach dem Aufwachen den ungestörten Blick auf den grünen Garten und über die Dächer Londons hinweg genießen war einfach genial. Zudem ist die Wohnnug in einem anprechendem, ruhigen Viertel gelegen. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Auch ein Toaster war in der Küche vorhanden. Lediglich ein Nudelsieb hätten wir nach dem Nudelkochen gebrauchen können. :-) Ich bin mir jedoch sicher, dass der nächste Gast eines vorfinden wird. Sonst war jedoch wirklich alles vorhanden was wir benötigt haben. Ich kann diese Ferienwohnung vorbehaltslos empfehlen. Ideal war für uns außerdem die geografische Lage der Wohnung: Die "Junction Tavern" (North London Pub of the year 2008) ist knappe 10 Gehminuten von der Ferienwohung entfernt. Praktisch war außerdem, dass die nächste UBahnhaltestelle (Tuffnel Park) in Zone 2 liegt: Da lohnt der Kauf eines 3-Tage-Tickets der Tube (Zone 1 und 2). CamdenTown mit seinen einmaligen Märkten ist ebenfalls nur 2 UBahnhaltestellen entfernt und lohnt sich besonders an Samstagen. Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße aus Kaiserslautern!
