hosts were very responsive and allowed me to drop my bags off before check-in and keep them after check-out. it's one room in a four room flat, with two rooms downstairs and two rooms upstairs. it's a bit smaller than the photos make it seem, but it was enough space for a few days in the city. the walk to king's cross was a bit longer than expected and was closer to 20 minutes than 10. i guess it depends on how fast you walk. overall, not a bad value for the price!
