Nice, real place. You need to walk a bit to get to lively places, but it's decently close to Holborn and Farringdon, where I needed to go to during the day, and I guess by London standards that's quite good really. Delightfully quiet at night (again, by London standards), although the outside light is not blocked by the paper curtain in the window; I had to put something on my eyes to be able to sleep.
