The room and bathroom were clean and as pictured. There was someone renting the room beside mine, but I never ran into him and barely heard him. Richard and Oakki were nice. It was a little further from the city center than I expected. You walk to a bus stop, then take a bus to a station, then take the underground, and it ends up taking about an hour. So, if you're new to London public transportation, I'd suggest staying somewhere closer. Otherwise, this is a great place with great people!
