Joan is a great host. Her apartment has everything one needs for an extended stay in London. It is located near public transport and getting to the city centre is straightforward, if not very quick. The apartment is cosy, well-furnished and practical. We were able to cook and do our laundry. The neighbourhood is quiet and calm.
The internet was quite weak most of the time and we found that watching movies online was impossible. Phone service was also spotty at times due to the location.
I would recommend Joan's apartment to anyone looking for a cosy, practical place to stay who plans to focus on the real world and does not need an amazing internet connection.
