Donovan's place was good value for money in a good location. I felt relatively safe in the streets and in the flat. I had never stayed in a shared space before and I would do it again now I've seen how it works. If you're sensitive to noise it would be useful to know that you can hear the other guests walking around and in the kitchen/bathroom even if they're trying to be quiet due to the wooden floors and close proximity. Donovan is an excellent host; breakfast was a nice touch. I would stay again next time I'm in London.
