Simon’s place was quite convenient, minute-walk distance to bus and metro. Though the room was right next to the road, it was rather quiet as long as the window was closed, and as the bedroom was tucked inside near the court, sleeping was undisturbed. (However, one can feel the vibration of underground metro from time to time.)
The kitchen and bathroom were all well-supplied, even with Nutella, oj and Fortnum&Mason tea).
The experience was overall very pleasant. Simon answered questions rather promptly. Will recommend to friends & family.
