This was a very nice place to stay and we enjoyed our time. It's about an 8 min walk to the tube. The area is decent and people were friendly. There also seems to be a high student population here, which we liked. This place is located across from a prison, so if that freaks you out then you might not enjoy the location. It didn't bother us at all and we felt plenty safe, but I could see it deterring some. Overall great stay and I would do it again. The only thing that did get annoying was being asked for my email a few times so that they could send me offers in the future.
