We had a very nice stay at Shane's place. It is in a great location within easy walking distance (10-14 min) of 2 tube stops and close to many restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. The kitchen is well appointed. The flat is a bit drafty but the heat works great. Communication with Shane was excellent. Like other reviewers have mentioned, the bed was very firm and for us, too hard. The multiple flights of stairs didn't bother us since being on the 5th floor made for some excellent views. Bathroom has great water pressure and plentiful hot water, although getting into the tub requires a big step.
