The host is obliging, the flat is modest in appearance but well equipped and fully functional. We've had no problem during our two-weeks stay. The location is good, at some meters from an underground station and two supermarkets, and a 15 minutes walk to an underground station of the Central Line and the enormous Westfield commercial centre. For some people the staircases (practically 3d floor) might pose a problem. There is no double glazing but central heating is available at all times. The balcony is certainly a plus for smokers and in case of good weather.
