A warm, welcoming host, Gavin met us and gave us the run down of the apartment. It was certainly located in the heart of Soho and depending on your age group, it may or may not be, the perfect position. Extremely noisy until 3 or 4am, the double glazed windows helped, but they also kept the stuffiness inside too. Bedrooms were a good size, beds were sofa beds and not so comfortable. The kitchen was not much more than 1 sqare metre of floor space and the bathroom only a little bigger. There was NO hot water in the bathroom basin (and only a trickle in the kitchen - a health hazard?) The shower was a mine field and was prone to scalding if not careful. All in all, yes it was how it was described; but I've stayed in much better for much cheaper. This was hotel prices for extreme basics.
