Toral's place is in a great neighborhood. It's about a 10 minute walk from the London Bridge station but the walk goes by quickly as you pass through many cafes/restaurants/the Shard on the way. It's also very close to Tower Bridge and the Maltby Street Market (open on weekends only). So in terms of location, it was easy to get around from her place by tube or bus, but in general London is a very spread out place so it took about 30-40 minutes by public transit to get to most areas like Leicester Sq, Shoreditch, Kensington, Oxford Street, etc. The private room/bed/bathroom was good and clean. I found the bed to be comfortable! My friend wasn't able to sleep well though due to the tennis courts across the street so if you're a light sleeper, just be aware that in the mornings there are generally people playing quite early! I didn't notice until my friend told me. We were generally out most of the day and we would get home late at night and didn't see Toral that much but she is very responsive and gave good tips. One we appreciated was going to Nine Lives bar, which is pretty new and around the corner from her place (good place to go for cocktails and music, more lounge than a pub). Also a lot of good places to eat by her apt but we didn't get to try as much as we would have liked!
