Initially I booked a better room and he asked me if i would swap for a small compensation because it was now being occupied. I agreed because of the hassle of finding someone else, but on reflection I think what I ended up paying for was overpriced but not hugely so. The place was easy to find and very warm and clean on the inside with a nice kitchen and bathroom. Although the outer appearance was a little intimidating when I first saw it, I settled in very quickly. Stewart was very understanding when I broke one of his wine glasses, he was also very descriptive with check in and check out so there was relatively little need for contact between us. The highlight of the stay was how near we were to elephant and castle - 5 minutes walk from really good connections and good food. Overall, a good stay.
