Mike is a gentle soul, an interesting character, and most importantly in this context, an amazing host.
Mike stuck the balance perfectly between being present to help or answer questions, and giving me privacy and space. I was able to come and go freely and easily, but it was nice to run into Mike and have a few chats too.
His place is spick and span. He has generously provided shampoo, body wash, and anything else you might need (hair dryer, although I'm bald, and a mini fridge if needed). I was in London for a business trip, so it was really nice that Mike provided a towel, and toiletries. Less stuff to have to schlep around.
The location is absolutely ideal for visiting London, 2 min walk to King's Cross, and at the same time when you're in the room, it's super quiet and doesn't feel or sound like you're in central London. It's on the ground floor, which is nice, so no stairs to brave with your bags.
Overall, I had a lovely stay, and I'd recommend this host and room to anyone staying in London by themselves for work or leisure. I'll be reaching out to Mike next time I'm in London for sure.
