Peter was great about communicating and was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had!!! The flat is in a great location - especially if you want to visit the British Museum. It was very clean. The bathroom shower and toilet flushing is indeed quirky but you can get used to it. The best part of the flat, besides the location, is the washer/dryer. It was great being able to wash some clothes since we packed lightly. The noise is an issue that the host has no control over - we prepared for that by taking our laptop and playing music at night. There are all kinds of places to eat nearby. It worked well for us.
