My short stay of two nights in Mike's flat was an excellent all-around experience. He was quick to respond to my request for the room and once agreed he initiated several communications to help with directions and timing for check-in. I arrived mid-day on a week-day while he was at work so he had organized that I would collect the keys from a neighbor, which was smooth and hassle-free. The flat was on the top floor and accessible by either stairs or an elevator, which I found to be clean and in good working condition. The door to the flat was solid and the lock/key worked very well. Once inside I found everything to be clean and in great condition. The room was large enough to unpack and move around without feeling cramped. The single bed in my room was very comfortable. I was out of the flat from morning until night each day, so really only used the flat for shower, bed, and internet. I was familiar with other parts of London but not this part of the city. I found the location (within Zone 2) to be very convenient for my needs, as most of my activity was in the center of London and I intended to be out for the entire day. If I had activities or work during the day and then wanted to return to my room before going out in the city at night, I would probably look for a place closer to the center. The bus stop just across from the flats gave me easy access to Oxford Circus (via #12) and London Bridge (via #343), among numerous others.
