The room is very accessible by public transport, which was a huge plus. But for its location, I would consider it to be the suburb area around London, so it would still take a while to travel into the main sights. In addition, I went during summer time. So the apartment trapped a lot of heat and there was no fan nor air-conditioning to alleviate the situation. Leaving the main window open at night was our only choice but it meant letting in the bright lights and noise from the main street. Other than these issues, the apartment was comfortable and nice!
