Pros: The host was very nice. He tried to make us feel welcome with a bottle of wine, and letting us know there were things in the fridge and pantry we could use. And the apartment is definitely in a very convenient location to King's Cross (lots of tube lines cross there so it is easy to get anywhere). The apartment is decorated nicely. Having the Oyster card was handy as I could load it up right away. And having free wifi was extremely helpful. Cons: The area was also in a housing project so can be a bit loud at night with people on the street outside (occasional shouting or a car idling outside), and the dumpster is right outside the bedroom window, so you will hear people putting stuff in and hear the truck when it comes to get it. But the biggest issue was that this was advertised as having two beds/accommodating four. One of the beds was a pullout couch (which is fine, it was perfectly comfortable) but was in the living room, with one entire wall consisting of glass (floor length windows and door)...with no blinds, shades, or curtains. That is not really appropriate to be sleeping in. Besides the light and privacy issues (you don't want to be nervous that someone might be watching you sleep), the host told us that there had previously been a break in through that door. There needs to be blinds or curtains on those windows and doors. It is unnerving to have to sleep in an open room like that.
