Paul was a welcoming host, although initially tough to get a hold off by text. Neighborhood was ok but it's a 15-20 min walk to charing cross. The place was a little dirtier - dirt balls in my room - than i hoped it would be and the price was higher than what i thought i was signing up for. I thought it would be one price but the actual price was higher (not sure how that happened). You are probably better off staying at a hotel.
