Be aware that this is a very gritty, working class area. The building has lots of peeling paint outside and although I'm sure it is a safe neighborhood, we were very uncomfortable walking the streets at night. Kamal was a very good host, but you should know that this apartment feels very lived in. The apartment is small and old. We had to get to the Eurostar the next morning and the apartment is very close to St. Pancras station, so that is a plus. For one night it is fine, but I would probably look elsewhere for a longer stay.
