The listing was as described if not even better... with a "new" feel as the kitchen and bath had been redone but still had classical London flat characteristics as well.

Easy self check in.... security door building, so felt safe.

Host provided tea/milk which my wife loved!

I felt safe in the neighborhood despite it's working class feel versus say North London. Easy access to grocery. Tube is 15 minutes walk but a bus goes there 2-5 minutes when we didn't feel like walking.

This type of flat would be my choice for a long stay where budget concerns would come up. London is very expensive and this seemed reasonable and well worth the price compared to hotels we've stayed in.
