It’s a nice room, the host was accommodating and friendly, and the general condition of the flat was good too.
That being said, the building the flat is in is a bit run down and does not appear to be properly maintained, it isn’t a very pleasant area either; although it is close to nearby amenities. While the room does have a balcony, it is small, not very nice, and the latch on the door to get out there is stiff.
As well as that, the WiFi is a bit temperamental. It works slowly most of the time, but other times barely at all. I would absolutely not recommend this place if you need to rely on the internet at home.
For the location in zone one, it seems to be of reasonable value when compared to similar rooms nearby, but is still quite a lot for just a single room and so in the future I would consider staying further out and catching the tube in.
Thinking about location, it’s right by commercial road, so with the single glazed windows a lot of road noise can be heard at night.
