Nicolas' flat was fantastic, and much better than we had expected. It was larger than we assumed it would be based on the photos on the listing. It was clean and bright, well stocked with dishes, clean, fluffy towels, and all the basics. The bed was comfortable with a big warm, cozy bedspread. He had left a stack of London tourism guides on the desk which was a nice added touch. We were a bit concerned beforehand about the bathroom being located in the hall, but it was not an issue at all. We never encountered other tenants, and it was kept very clean. It would be a real shame for anyone to pass on this flat because of that.

As mentioned in other reviews, the flat is located in a very trendy, young neighbourhood with lots of pubs and nightlife in the area. As such it was very loud at night, particularly on the weekend, though Nicolas made this clear in the ad. Earplugs are a must, but again, don't let it deter you. It is such a great location, close to metro, and safe.

We were so pleasantly surprised with how much we loved this flat. We would definitely recommend it to others, and would try to stay here again if we are ever in London in the future.
