Gil is very kind and friendly host, easy to communicate with. His place has all the stuff one needs for a comfortable stay, including fast wifi, and the view from the room is really wonderful.
Kitchen and bathroom are shared with Gil's friendly lodger, we never had any overlap in both of these premises (I was getting up early morning on weekdays and late morning on weekends)

The place is close to Bermondsey station, making it quick to get either to Central London, but also to other interesting places like Stratford or Blackheath. There is a 24/7 store nearby, so you can have dinner at anytime, they sell cheap and tasty ready-to-eat food (e.g. great Biryani).
For solo travelers, this is definitely a great choice.
