Gareth's place is exactly as you see in the pictures. It's not particularly fancy but it's a solid residence, with an excellent shower, kitchenette, closets and a comfortable bed.
The location is outstanding! Very easy to get to from the airport and within spitting distance to a tube station. The tube runs on the Bakerloo line, which makes is very convenient for getting into the CBD or to other parts of the city.
In terms of changes or things of which you ought to be aware, the building contains seven rooms spread four floors. I only bumped into the other tenants on a couple of occasions and it seemed perfectly safe, if you're concerned about that. My room was on the top floor--which I was pleased with-- but it does mean carrying your luggage up four flights of stairs, which some may find a problem particularly with large suitcases.
The flat was very clean although I wasn't a fan of the cleaning solution used -- the scent was a bit too overpowering for me. If you have a long stay, I'd suggest bringing a bar of soap or shower gel as there is one of each for the shower but they are small.
There are some great cafes and bars 300 metres to 600 metres away including Milk Beach, Gail's Bakery, Alice's House and Bob's Café so you'll have choice, but there isn't tea, coffee or kitchen consumables provided.
All in all, I found the flat quiet and comfortable, and the WIFI worked very well. I'd happily stay there again and think it's good value for the money.
