The pros:
*comfortable, spacious room
*easy access via victoria line & buses to Central & East London, Southwark etc
*many shops, cafés etc nearby
*within a walking distance of Westminster, Battersea park
*great & communicative host
*laundry machine!
The cons:
*privacy is limited as there’s an adjacent room, shared shower&toilet. Old wooden stairs and floor so every step is heard.
*the apartment is not serviced - that includes public areas such as the shared kitchen.
*neighborhood is not very young - I found myself traveling to other areas to eat etc quite often. However it’s a matter of personal taste so not a con per se.
