Good location. 10 min walk to the train station where you can get a simple tube to central in around 30 mins. Sainsbury’s right down the road, nice bars and anything else you might need in Balham. It’s a renovated church that is used as an English school. Very quiet although we weren’t there in the day. Free breakfast is lovely. The bunk beds are short term comfortable, thin mattress but surprisingly comfy still. !Bring your own towels because there are none unless you pay! Very good for what you pay.
