Our family of 4 stayed 3 nights at the upstairs unit and loved it. From the minute you stepped in the door it felt just like walking into a fully-equipped and fully-functioning home. All you literally need to do is bring your suitcase of clothes and a grocery bag of food and you’ll feel right at home.Betty is very accomodating and helpful and made us feel very welcome. The old-world décor of the unit fits right in with the heritage status of the house which used to be a pub. The only minor quirk is that you have to enter the 2nd bedroom to access the master bedroom (which was no issue for us but perhaps could be for those needing greater privacy). In summary the upstairs unit is spacious, well-appointed and very comfortable.
A variety of good restaurants and our favourite café Jackman & McRoss (buy back their excellent croissants for breakfast!) are all within a 5 minute walk along Hampden Rd. The excellent deli Wursthaus Kitchen on Montpelier Retreat and the supermarket Salamanca Fresh next door on Salamanca Place are only a 10 minute walk away.
Try out the Grand Old Duke as a great alternative to a hotel room or a generic serviced apartment.”
