I stayed in London two weeks for a training course and had a great time at Michael's house. The room I was in was on the ground floor: Very spacious and bright, and quite cosy. The shower really was a bit on the wee side, but even I managed, and I am 5'9. :o)

There are several other people living in the house, but you hardly notice as everyone is very respectful of your privacy and tries to keep noise to a minimum. However, when meeting them in the kitchen, they are up for a chat, and when I had a problem with the washing machine, everybody was very helpful.

The tube and bus stations are really close, and there are several shops, supermarkets, pubs and banks nearby. The area itself is residential and quite; I had a room with a window on street-level, and the noisiest thing you'd hear were the neighbours chatting on the street on Saturday morning.

The only minor thing that one could argue about was the fact that the cleaning lady had twisted her ankle and was therefore not available, but that was not Michael's fault, and the bathrooms were kept really clean by the housemates.

All in all, it was a lovely experience, and I would highly recommend Michael's place to stay at.
