Arthea was a very pleasant and welcoming host. The room is in the top of the house and has it's own toilet and shower. It was very clean and fresh, and there were many extra touches: wine and bottled water in the fridge, biscuits and rolls, maps and information about London - in fact very pleasant indeed. The location is quite good and a ten minute walk from both bus and tube lines.
However, there was a major problem: the bed is not a real bed but a futon mattress on wooden pallets. This meant that we were very uncomfortable and lack of sleep was a problem for both days. It may be that other people are ok with a futon - indeed I used one when I was much younger. But for us this made it impossible to sleep comfortably. This factor was not clear in the description or the pictures, so were not able to make an informed choice. I would suggest that it is made clear, because otherwise this room was very good.
