Andy is a lovely host - chatty, warm and welcoming but mindful of your privacy. The place is spacious and clean and has excellent transport links – both tube and bus (which stops right outside). He's incredibly quiet (I found out he went out early in the morning and not once did he wake me).

Having a comfy sofa and a telly in the room really made it feel like home and the room had lots of storage, a hanging rail and even a coffee table. It was lovely to have access to the kitchen too and the WIFI was the best I have encountered!

Some people have queried the ‘area’ I honestly didn’t feel intimated – there is an estate next door which looks like it is being demolished. There is plenty of street lighting and lots of places to eat and drink within a walkable distance.

There are a few things people should be aware of. Firstly the room overlooks a very noisy road with buses running through the night. You aren’t getting a bed – just a mattress. Admittedly the double mattress is supremely comfy but it is something to be aware of (although to be fair this is shown in the photos). The curtains are pale and wafer thin and there is a very bright street light outside. I had to resort to getting some eye masks to block out the light as the room is bathed in a low orange light at night. Despite all of this I did sleep very well (but I sleep through hurricanes!).
All in all a good place to stay for a night or two, and with it's transport links I'd definitely recommend as a crash pad for those going to Heathrow the next day.
