John's house was excellent. The room is huge, very light and welcoming. And the private bathroom is a great feature. Don't be scared by the description saying the bathroom is on the third floor. It is just outside the door to the room and up a small flight of stairs (maybe 8 stairs, not a full level higher).

The bedroom has a huge window that lets in lots of light and air. It overlooks a small back garden and a nice park just behind the house. The bed is comfortable and there is plenty of room for all your stuff.

The private bathroom has a really nice shower and everything you need to be comfortable.

John is a great host. He wasn't home when I arrived, but he had a friend meet me and show me around. The house is recently remodeled and has a large modern kitchen and an nice couch/TV/entertainment system in the living room. A nice back patio is very welcoming on nice days.

The pictures don't really do this house justice. The room is excellent and the house is wonderful. The location is amazing. Plenty of stores and restaurants are within a couple of blocks and the bus and underground are easily accessible. I spent all my time in central London and had no problems getting back and forth to the house at all hours.
