Location was good if you wanted to see tower bridge, apart from that a bit of a walk to other attractions.
Al’s place was extremely close to train station though which was very helpful (literally 4 min walk) but did come across a few suspicious / shady looking people that approached me and made me feel uncomfortable (asking for money, cigarettes etc).
Few areas could use a good clean (toilet especially) and a somewhat odd smell in bedroom / apartment overall.
Al (the host) was extremely friendly, great communication, and easy to deal with. He allowed me to do a late check in (almost midnight) as my flights were delayed and customs was a nightmare, which was very appreciated.
Great breakfast / coffee place down the road called ‘Grounded’ - must try if you’re in the area.
