It is quite close to the bus station Larcome which we used often. Elephant & Castle is a 10-15 minute walk. The neighborhood is old. There are a LOT of stairs in this apt. Up one flight to a room and the ONLY bathroom. Up another set of little stairs to the kitchen & living room. Up 2 flights to 2 more bedrooms (sinks in the bedrooms, no bathrooms). It was clean. The shower did clog up on us and we had to clean it out :/
