Matt was really helpful all along and his friend Peter welcomed us warmly and helped us to find the right place. The neighborhood is semi-industrial. It may be a bit rude for someone who isn't prepared for that. We got along just fine. That's three kids, all under 12, my wife and myself. 10 minutes walk (w/kids) to Seven Sisters Tube station and 16 mins to Victoria Station. Overground station is close as well.
