The house is very conveniently located next to the tube on a quiet but safe street. The main problem for me was that when I arrived the room had a masked smell of cigarette smoke/stale smoke and this didn't go away the while 5 nights that I stayed, despite having the outside door open all the time that I was in the room. Some of my clothes even started smelling of it. The host was very kind but there wasn't much she could do about previous people who stayed smoking in the room even though smoking is forbidden, although she brought some incense sticks. The other issue about the room was that it's at ground level and there is no window that you can open- so the room did get very stuffy at night as I couldn't leave the door open. However, overall, it's a good, reasonably priced place to stay in London and Shola was very kind and would have done
