Emil's apartment has great bus connections to almost everywhere in western and central London. I was able to save a lot of money by taking buses instead of the tube, especially since the nearest Tube stop is realistically about a 15 min. walk away. The roommates are all friendly and were open about sharing the kitchen and laundry, and very nicely invited me out with them on weekends, and lent me a space heater when my room in the back of the house was cold and drafty. As some other reviews have noted, the apartment is very dirty, and could be maintained better--there was a large hole in the bathroom door, and there was hair and stains everywhere. The bedroom was very dusty, especially around the bed, and the mattress was creaky and had springs sticking up uncomfortably. I'd say this apartment is fine for people accustomed to a student lifestyle, especially if you're looking for more of a 'roommate' situation where you get to hang out and chat with the other inhabitants.
