We selected this place to be near Kings Cross for an early start - which worked well. It was simple to access and sign out of the location which is a traditional but spacious basement studio just as the pictures show (although we didn't realise that the windows are not external - which didn't matter to us as we arrived after dark and left before it got light). There is noise, as should be expected in the centre of the city on a main road like the Cally, which is vibrant with many good restaurants within close proximity. The stations are very close by and easy to get to with luggage.
