The location is fantastic. It is conveniently located by an underground station and was a good base for exploring London. Karen was a great host and very easy to communicate with. Unfortunately there are a few cons. The bed is pretty uncomfortable and it's very very hot with no ventilation. I understand London is in the midst a heat wave right now, but a box fan of some sort would have made a world of difference. The other quirk was the shower. There is no temperature control knob. The only option is just hot, on top of already being hot due to the weather, it was a bit unpleasant. The space is much more cramped than the pictures lead us to believe, but that's not the end of the world. Again, Karen was a fantastic host and I hesitate to complain, but it did leave a bit to be desired.
