Two of us stayed at Ilyas' place for two weeks. We really loved the location, on the same block as a tube station, with easy access to central London by public transportation and many bars and eateries close by.

It was a lot cozier than we were expecting, as it really is just one small room with a loft bed, but everything is arranged very nicely, so personal space isn't a problem if you're close with your traveling companion.

Ilyas was a lovely and accomodating host, very welcoming and helpful. We especially liked the map he made us that had suggestions on it for local shops.

The only drawback is the serious hot water scarcity in the shower. We had to take turns taking very short showers, several hours apart.

Otherwise, our stay was great! The internet was fast, it was always toasty, even on cold days, the kitchen, though tiny, has all the right pots and pans, and the big window lets in lots of light.
