If old-word charm, frills, and antiques are what you want, forget this place. If you want clean, simple, comfortable in a fairly convenient and very trendy part of London at a reasonable price (considering that this is London), it should be very suitable. The front room looks out over a very busy street, but double windows and a door in between leave the bedroom nice and quiet. We were able to sleep there just fine. The kitchen is well equipped for a short-term stay.
