Ruth's place is perfect even if you have to stay in London for a while. You have all the private space you need, and the room is big enough to live and work in there. My boyfriend and I stayed for a week and really preferred it to an hotel.
Ruth is super nice and open to any kind of necessity you may have. The dog is super calm and you can literally not realise it's in the house.
The house is literally 5 minutes walk from Acton Town Station. I will definitely suggest this place to all my friends coming to London.
