My friend and I stayed here for about a week and a half and we had a great time. The location was very convenient if you want to explore London-- about a 10 minute train ride into one of the major train stations and then it's about 20 min to any part of central London. The local area had a lot of great restaurants and some grocery stores as well. It can be a bit loud at night with the windows open since it is near a busy area, but it wasn't horrible and we were able to sleep fine.
