This is ideal for a single traveller who plans to spend most of his/her time exploring London outside the flat. The area is vibrant and central. Sebastian's 3-floor flat is in a large Victorian building right off the Old St. roundabout. The room faces inward, which is what you want as there is little noise despite the proximity to traffic. Sebastian welcomed me to use the main floor with its kitchen, but generally I took advantage of a completely separate (essentially private) entrance to the floor where my room and the one other guest room are located. Everything was clean and the bathroom, shared between the two guest rooms, was spacious, modern, immaculate, and well-appointed. Promixity to the tube was extremely convenient. Finally, communication w/ Sebastian was excellent. I would stay again under the same circumstances.
