At first I was a little worried about the location but then it was a blessing. I love the neighborhood feel and the local bars and pubs. Using the Underground was very easy and it was a quick breeze to catch the express train to Heathrow. I personally did not want to take the Underground at night, so the cab ride was a little pricey.
The place is roomy, (except for bathroom). But nice sitting area, and comfortable bed. Shanin left lots of nice snacks which was really appreciated. She was very helpful in introducing us to London, both before the trip and after. The only slight negative I had were the room is dark because you are basically at a ground/or below ground level and the only small window is in the little bedroom. There is just not enough light inside. Overall, this was a great experience. Nice and private. Shanin was such a great host and made this a delightful experience.
