Kians place was amazing! Literally a couple hundred feet from the farringdon station. No air conditioning, but the fan in the room was definitely helpful. We saw him only once, but he was very pleasant. Staying at his place definitely made our trip to London easier and having the ensuite bathroom is always a plus. We were there for 4 nights, and are definitely missing it already after switching to a hotel closer to Kensington. Definitely recommended!
