Had a pretty good stay at Omar’s flat.
The good: reasonable price, excellent location, close to train station and underground. Cafes, restaurants, and grocery stores nearby. Well maintained interior. Excellent communication from Omar.
The unexpected: Unit is 1 room of a 4-bedroom flat all being rented to travelers, which I wasn’t anticipating. Normally when I've rented a private room, it’s in someone’s personal home; this was more like an "AirBNB hotel.” Consequently, it's pretty noisy! You can hear all the other guests. I brought earplugs, which made it OK. While the flat looks great, the complex itself is not very nice; it reminded me of dorm/college housing (which makes sense, there is a college nearby). For example, near the entrance there was trash overflowing in the dumpster. In the outside exterior hallways there were flies buzzing around. None of this is Omar’s fault, but I’d rate the building itself at the lower end of “moderate” and it felt inconsistent with the polish I saw on the interior photos. Check out GoogleStreetView for a better sense.
In summary, if you’re looking for a well-run budget London experience, this is a pretty good option.
