Simon's room was nice and homely. It was also quite large. I had enough space to open my suitcases and not trip over them when I walked into the room. The house is in a great location, 5 mins from a major train station that can get you anywhere in London. However, as it is located near a corner, it can be a little noisy sometimes with cars/trucks driving past on the main road. As a host, Simon was really welcoming and helpful. He and his housemates gave me lots of good advice about the best/worst parts of London. Simon currently has 5 little dogs that live with him. They are super cute but bark occasionally, as dogs do! I couldn't get any mobile phone reception in my room unfortunately, but it wasn't too big of a deal as Simon has great wifi!
