Richard is a very polite individual who was kind and provided very useful information. The attic room was fine. At night it is very quiet and the attic itself is very dark once you pull the blinds down so the morning sun will not wake you up. However the room does not have a door and some people may feel they don't have sufficient privacy. Similarly, there are no wardrobes or anything to put your clothes in. Transportation was pretty reasonable and one can be in central London in a bout 30 to 45 minutes.
