Mehmood was very friendly and wonderfully quick to respond to texts. His fiance met me when I arrived and provided a tour of the rooms. The room I stayed in was bright, nicely appointed, and had high ceilings. The blanket was warm and the bed relatively comfortable. Both the room and bathroom were clean. The room has its own lock, as does both the door to the flat and the outer door for the building. The neighbourhood is busy and feels safe, and the Underground is literally 20 seconds from the door to the building. There are several good restaurants in the neighbourhood (e.g. pastry shops, builders' cafe, authentic Sichuan restaurant (they actually use huajiao), Thai, etc.), and a Co-op across the street.
