Eliana and her partner Guilermo (hope I've spelled that right) were hospitable. The room itself was tidy and clean. You have to keep bedroom and bathroom doors shut however, because of the cats. In terms of transport links, the location suffers from lack of close proximity to well-connected tube or overground lines - you can still travel and get to hip places, it just takes longer. The neighbourhood itself is part gentrified, but still quite down at heel - I won't go into detail, but on the whole a very reasonable price for London and definitely a value proposition particularly if budget is tight.
