This location is great because it's right by public transit: a bus is literally at the curb of the street that has a stop for a train station to further explore London as needed. Foreigners should note, however, it is relatively removed from the heart of downtown London, etc. If you don't know your way around, study the tube map and plan on about 45 minutes of travel to most of the touristy things to do. The neighborhood itself is a quiet residential area, and a walk up a few nearby hills leads to some shops and pubs, etc. The room was good; adequately priced. You can get better elsewhere, but you'll be paying more. :) Christian, however, is an excellent, gracious host. We had trouble getting into London from Paris and had to arrive much later than expected, and he was immensely flexible and made us feel right at home once we finally met in person. He was even checking in on us periodically before check in to make sure we were doing ok! Overall, I feel we had a great balance between privacy and supportive hosting, and it was a pleasant experience for us!
