Ming's place is excellent for those who are trying to relocate to London, as the whole house is filled with people staying for an extended period of time (typically 7 days or more). Because of this, if you also stay for a longer time, you get to know the other house guests as well as Ming because the kitchen is, obviously, a common area. It's a really cool experience as, when I was here, it was very international. The house is also very close to a bus stop with at least three different bus routes, and Forest Hill station (Overground + National Rail Service) is a 10-12 minute walk away, depending on your pace. The only time I was a bit uncomfortable was walking home late at night, as the last couple of steps are poorly lit.
This room is on the third floor, and shares a toilet and washroom with two other rooms on this level. The windows are huge and both open, and allow ample air circulation. The neighbourhood itself can be noisy at times, whether it's sirens or alarms, people playing music very loudly at strange times (I was woken up at 6am on a Saturday due to Adele remixes from the neighbours) or kids playing. This is fine so long as you either close the windows and/or have earplugs!
Ming was also very accommodating. I gave myself about 10 days to find a room to live in which, unsurprisingly, was not enough. With Ming's help, I was able to quickly sort out alternative arrangements.
I really cannot recommend this place enough!
