Donovan wasn't home, but made absolutely sure that we were greeted and had an easy time getting into the place. The place was immaculately clean, but seeing as how it has many positive reviews, it's understandable why, the towels and bed sheets are a little shabby from a lot of use. If you're on a budget, you won't care, they're clean. We just bought new towels and used them during our stay. The bathroom, room and house are great! the area is safe, perfect, and according to wikipedia, quite the hipster area! We had no problems finding our way to the main areas, but expect about a 20-40 min tube ride from the flat. With an Oyster card, this is no problem.
