This place was in a great location if you are planning to take public transport throughout your stay, it was clean and kept well. They don’t accommodate early check in at all, which was frustrating but normal for most places. Two complaints i had, my door wouldn’t lock and i messaged someone and didn’t get a response for a long time. Also, the listing does not state you can’t have guests which was annoying because i was a solo traveler, my friend lived on the outskirts of london and she wasn’t allowed inside when she came and visited me, and my door didn’t lock the first which made me feel unsafe. The nice thing was when i stated to them the original listing didn’t state i couldn’t have guests they just said “thank you for your feedback”. So that’s my take on this place. Was it a good first place to stay in London? Kind of. Would i stay here again ? Probably not
