Maruf was a great host - a very kind young man. He was exceptionally quick to respond to messages and very accommodating on requests - even going as far to nip out to buy me a hair dryer and letting me check out a little later than I'd first planned.
The apartment is up several flights of stairs and the room isn't over large so perhaps not for travellers looking for long stays or people with lots of luggage. I found the location super convenient for my needs but there are a lot of homeless issues around the Old Street roundabout which might unnerve some travellers. I was happy to give Maruf some feedback about the place - a table lamp in the bedroom, a few more hangers, a bath mat in the bathroom would be amongst some nice touches that would make the place more homely. The bed was a little squeaky and the shower temperature very hard to control, but I'd still recommend.
