Russell's flat is an amazing find! We stayed five nights and loved everything about his flat and the neighborhood. We walked everywhere, but public transportation is literally at your doorstep as are wonderful restaurants and grocery stores (there is a Sainsbury's Local the next building over). His flat is well equipped, has great heating, comfy beds, a fun assortment of travel books and novels, and is very quiet despite being right in the middle of everything. Exmouth Market which is a few minutes walk has excellent places to eat - we especially loved Morito! Although we did not meet Russell, he made everything so easy. I highly recommend his flat.
