The host is friendly, we didn't meet him though, but he made all the necessary arrangements and sounded very polite when we spoke on the phone. The house is set in a quiet residential street and it is only about a 10 minute walk from the tube. The room is nice and cozy. The only problem was that the room wasn't clean - both the bathroom and the kitchen are in need of a thorough cleaning. I would nevertheless recommend this place, provided that the host finds someone to clean it properly.
