A real treat to have a place for such a scenic and lively part of London. Ysk was met me at the door, introduced me to his handsome and comfortable room, and the left me to come and go as I needed. The basement room blocks 100 percent of the noise from the street scene just outside the door. The house was built a century before the United States was even born, so it has its share of creaks, but it is up-to-date and warmly inviting. WiFi worked great; the shower is an A+. (Whatever problems London may have, anemic water pressure isn't among them). And there is something fun about emerging from the door of the house to step into a bustling pub crowd. Recommended for single travelers who want a great location and an experience out of the ordinary.
