There is a railway hub very near, where we could reach Waterloo or Victoria stations in like 10 mins from, so the public transport was surprisingly good. The neighborhood seemed a bit too scattered with trash though, but that was okay. There is a nearby pub (The Asparagus) with very friendly prices, compared to the inner city. The home owner is a nice lady, but there are multiple tenants and I think at least 2 rooms are offered for guests from AirBnB, so be prepared it won't be totally silent at night.
We made the mistake to match this apartment with Stansted, and it was a pretty long ride from and to there. Gatwick is within an hour's reach.
All in all, for the price it was a fair deal, and I'd recommend it for single people or couples, who only stay in London for a couple of days.
