I enjoyed my stay in room 2 (ground floor). There was some noise from the trains, but it wasn't bad at all. I didn't realize from the description that the house was divided into a number of rooms. The drawback is that multiple people must share the bathroom and the host was only present to give the initial orientation. Overall, I was satisfied with my stay; the location is convenient for access to King's Cross (15 min walk) and the common area is as others have noted very nice (spacious kitchen, neat backyard, nice living room).
