If you want an efficient, location-friendly room in a relatively spacious apartment, then please rent with Chris. While the building is under some renovation, his apartment his warm and friendly. He was always available online and upon arrival for providing assistance. He's very knowledgeable about getting about town via Tube, etc.
The bedroom is quite efficient. It is quiet (except from the occasional police or ambulance siren). Air circulation could be better in that room, but overall it is comfortable. Ample easy storage for clothes and luggage. Good light in the day time and an interesting view at night. It overlooks the Famous 3 Kings pub which is a nice place for local grub and drink.
I found a cheap and wonderful pizza place down the block.
There are plenty of small stores that are open late for last minute food, etc. times open for selling alcohol are variable at these places, so go early if you want wine, etc. with a late night dinner.
The Tube is located just minutes away! Barely 2 minutes if the crosswalk lights are with you. Be mindful that jaywalking at the wrong moment can get you in trouble, so watch out. It's a busy intersection between the flat and the Tube.
The building security is friendly. Say hello to Ben for me!
The doors to get into the building are a bit difficult-- stubborn and not so easy to open. The lift can be slow at times, as well.
The hallways on his floor are under renovation. Pay no mind.
Chris is upgrading things all the time, even while you are staying, and is very open to suggestions. The door to the bedroom was a bit jammy, but he quickly got the tools and corrected it.
Shower is nice. It took a while to figure out how to not scald myself with it.
Enjoy the neighborhood and the easy access to the Tube! It's brilliant!
