The flat/bedroom is very comfortable and light. Having your own bathroom is an added plus. The location is perfect for Balham which has Lots of nice cafes and shops etc. Also not far from parks and 5 minutes from the tube/train station. The flat is set Back from the main road so there is some road noise but the window is secondary glazed and shutting it completely did make a difference. Though personally I liked the street noise. Richard is a great host and I highly recommend staying in his lovely accomadation.
