Our hosts were incredible and really went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The neighborhood felt very safe and it wasn't to far from the tube. It took us about 40-60 to get from our host to the major tourist sites. Riding the tube was a great experience and helped us to experience the true London. The studio has everything one needs for your stay. The ceiling is slanted on both sides so not a lot of height for standing if you are very tall. But great place and a great value, we would love to do it again! We had an amazing time in London--and a lot is due to our host and the money we saved by not booking an overpriced hotel.
