Other than the location being more inconvenient than I had anticipated, my stay at Nev's place went as smooth as possible. The check-in process was super streamlined and the instructions were easy to follow. Once I got to the room, it was as pictured in the listing; comfy bed, calm decor, and a good amount of space. There's a full bath and half bath, so sharing the bathroom wasn't ever an issue and they were both always clean. The room is right by the main street, so you can hear cars, even in the later (past midnight) hours of the night. It's otherwise so quiet, which might be why the occasional cars that passed by felt so more noticeable. Honestly, it wasn't much of an issue — I actually slept very well every night; it's just an FYI to bring earplugs if you're a very very light sleeper.
On my first day in London, I had the misfortune of getting some things, including my Airbnb keys stolen. I contacted Nev and he immediately replied to say that the spare key will be left at the place. It was such a relief as I was scrambling to sort out this whole situation. Throughout the rest of the stay, Nev and Jessica were both responsive and informative.
Regarding the location, the nearest tube station is in zone 3. With the bus, tube, and overground, the location is quite accessible from most anywhere in the city. My qualms came from having early days and realizing that it took at least 45 minutes to get to almost anywhere I needed to go to, so it required more planning to not end up starting my day at 11am everyday. Again, this is more of an FYI, because I know I underestimated the impact of this when I had booked my stay here.
