Julia was very welcoming, and very flexible with check in time. Her appartment was nice ( third floor no elevator If I remember correctly), the room very spacious. I had a single bed but very comfy. The heating worked really well! Definitely warm enough ( it was actually pretty cold out so that was nice). If you open the window you can hear the train ( tube station right there) but because it was cold out I kept it closed and didn't hear much. The big shopping center is 5 min away which can be convenient.
