Host was very communicative, and as everyone else has stated this location can’t be beat (a great cafe next door/tons of food and drink options within a couple blocks and a Tesco Express across the street). Also a few minutes walk to either Great Portland or Oxford tube stations. A few things I wasn’t aware of (but I should have read the other reviews): it’s in a basement essentially so it gets very little light. Also gets vibrations from what I presume is the tube/can get quite noisy. No hot water in the taps - just the shower. For me it was all about location though, so I was quite content with my stay and I would recommend this spot.
