The location, near the bus stop and tube, while convenient results in some challenges. Many people hanging about and begging. You cannot be dropped off in front of the residence because it is a bus stop. The tube is easily accessible and very convenient and I loved this feature. Even though it was very hot, when we were there, there is good ventilation in the apartment and the heat was not a problem. The noise from the railway (the railroad tracks are directly behind the residence) and the construction next door make it very difficult to relax. The lift (thank goodness there is one) was temperamental and wasn't always working. Alexander was very responsive and a perfect host.
