Communication was great! Our hosts reached out several times to let us know about check-in options, places to go and tips. The flat is 10 minutes from King's Cross, so it's great if you want to see a lot and if you're bound to using public transportation. It's pretty loud, though. You should be able to sleep with city noises ;) the flat has everything you need (even more! There were breakfast options available) and the overall experience was very nice!
