Tope is a great guy and a very friendly host. The enormity of London can be intimidating and confusing at first, but Tope was always very helpful about the transportation options around London. The place is close to the train station, but it isn't that loud until the morning rush.
When we arrived, London was going through a bit of a heat wave and I'll admit I was uncomfortable without air conditioning. So if you are used to that amenity, be aware it's not available here.
