Shakila's house was lovely and very clean and the room was very comfortable. My room was on the ground floor next to the communal kitchen and lounge but i was wasnt disturbed by noise. The bathroom is across the hall and through the kitchen/lounge area, which could be awkward for some if there had been people there, but for me there wasnt. The area is a short bus ride or walk to the underground and then 20 minutes to downtown. And then 5 minutes walk there is a shopping centre with a Metro & Walmart & all the other shops you could need.
