Mike is very warm and friendly, and his place (top 2 floors) is bright, spacious, and comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen for those who like to cook. He is responsive and accommodative to my requests and privacy. His guide book spells out clearly the rules and suggests many local favorites and tips of getting around (e.g. the Oyster card refund tip)

The neighborhood is a local ethnic community, non-touristy, a stark contrast to other affluent pockets with fancy hotels --- be advised. London is a diversified city.

Transportation is quite convenient. However, be aware of potential train schedule changes on weekend, both for tube, and rails. Just allow a little extra time to/from airport, if one chooses to use tube and trains.
