Sam's place was great. We immediately felt at home, the rooms mates are easy to get a long with, though everyone has different schedule, usually very busy, so it's easy to have your own space, it's not crowded at all. Everyone was more than happy to give us tips on where to go and how to get around. The kitchen is really well equipt and the apartment has a good view of the area, and set in a convenient area: 5-10 minutes or so from a huge sainsburys and 2 stations.
