About Carolyn Marlow

I am also a garden designer and love creating inner city gardens which bring a peace, colour and seasonal change to our city spaces.

Why Carolyn Marlow chose England
I love Central London, its international community and the huge cultural diversity it offers; great food, mind-blowing markets, performance art, exhibitions - its cutting edge modernity and historic legacy. Wimbolden Tennis, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspurs Football Clubs, Lords Cricket - world class sports! We host some of the world's most amazing festivals of food, dance, music, art and performance.
London is one of the greatest cities on earth! And it's all on our doorstep!!!
And at the end of a thrilling day, having lived in this quiet family neighbourhood all my adult life, I know importance of a quiet moment to relax, kick back and recharge my batteries. I need quiet and space in plenty to do this.
Our gorgeous Victorian Villa, its lovely garden and nearby parks is the perfect antidote! This house is brimming with period charm, extensive space to stretch out, easy parking and extraordinary quiet.
Our peaceful walled garden invites you to enjoy a glass of wine and dinner one evening, or fresh croissants and morning coffee - here is a perfect oasis of calm at the end or start of your day!

Amazing Location
Recently took a vacation to London, England with my family and nieces. Apartment was conveniently located to all transportation( Buses , Trains & Shopping area). Had a wonderful time as apartment had all the comforts of home.
5 Stars
The De Family.
Great place to stay
Two of us stayed here for an 11 day "girls" holiday. The apartment was very clean and comfortable with easy access to Archway Tube station and buses. Welcome basket with milk, eggs and fruit was a very nice touch. Access to a washer/dryer was a real plus for me having arrived after a 2 week stay in Italy. I would definitely recommend this apartment and would stay here again.
Perfect location.Lovely quiet place in the heart of London.
Flat was great. Comfortable with all mod cons required. Exactly as advertised. Carolyn was really helpful all through, and was kind enough not to laugh too much when we tried to get in wrong flat!!!!
Only five minutes walk from tube and buses. Loads of great places to eat out nearby (Pizza and Vegan Chinese on the Holloway rd were lovely).
Extra bonus - Next doors cat was a lovely visitor
1 x little thing - The fruit on arrival was lovely (and we fruit salad for breakfast, however a pint of milk would have been nice (as tea was provided). Not a big issue as Tesco/Sainsbury just up the road.
Will definitely try to use again.
Beautifully presented and well equipped property in prime location
This flat is in an absolutely ideal location just a few minutes' walk from the tube station that will take you into the West End or City within 10 minutes. Trains were plentiful and we never had to wait more than a couple of minutes. Between the flat and the tube station there are 2 small supermarkets and several coffee shops, eateries and pubs. Those we tried were excellent! Despite everything being so close, the street itself is peaceful and quiet and you'd never know you were so close to the city centre.
The flat was spotlessly clean - (kudos to the cleaning crew!) - and had everything we needed although we didn't cook much. Even with 4 adults and the living room sofa bed permanently in use, the flat didn't seem crowded. We loved the fresh fruit and farm eggs that were left and particularly appreciated the fresh baked, gluten free loaf of bread - a lovely touch from Carolyn, who was easy to communicate with and super helpful at all times! Can't recommend this place highly enough and I'll certainly be back!
Wonderful location, perfect sunny home-like flat with all the amenities!
(Apologies for this very late review; after our trip to London in November 2016 we arrived home to much upending of the home life, including a very sick pet. Am now playing catch-up because Carolyn deserves her due.)
This is honestly the best flat I've stayed in in all my visits to London! It's a basement flat with a shared yard, updated and decorated in an attractive and homey way. After a long plane ride from the States and then transport into London, we were grateful to land in such a clean, well-lit, well-stocked flat.
I can't adequately describe what it was like to be greeted with the makings of a meal or two laid out on the table and in the fridge, especially since I'm the main cook and normally would have to drag myself to a store to buy basics after a 30-plus hour day getting to London. Looking at that bread and fruit and other lovely things was like manna from heaven, I swear that the angels were singing! And there's just something about that basket of food, where it gives such a warm welcome, that says the owner cares about her guests and their whole welfare. That is true hospitality!
As you see from the photos, there is a small but well-proportioned kitchen with a large skylight and window, a combination dining/living room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a laundry area set between one of the bedrooms and the bathroom. All the basic necessaries are supplied, from dish soap and dishwasher pellets to laundry soap and an iron. In fifteen minutes I was set up in both kitchen and my bedroom, thanks to the storage amenities and layout. It's very easy to get around and work in this flat, including the kitchen. I am semi-disabled but was able to descend the stairs from the pavement down to the flat easily. The flat is single-level, which is welcome. It even comes with a borrowed cat (Cyril) who belongs to the person upstairs. Cyril hangs out in the back yard and likes to visit!
There was one small issue during our stay, when the boiler acted up, but the issue was fixed quickly (and with a lot of humour!). Carolyn was incredibly responsive to the situation, as indeed she was to all of our needs.
From the spotless cleanliness of the flat, to its layout, to its location, it was perfect. It's also very close to a main street, a grocery store and to the Tube. The neighborhood is walkable and I like the diversity all around.
I would definitely stay here again! Many, many thanks to Carolyn, and to all who helped make our stay so wonderful!
Fantastic place
Great Location! Loved it! Very convenient to be able to stop at the store on the way back to cook meals to save money. My family really enjoyed it. We will be back
