If you like old houses or apartments with character, personal history and quirkiness then this place is really charming. John was an amiable host and we had a candid chat about the artwork that adorns and divides the household! Be advised that the large double room faces put onto Bayswater. It is lively and noisy and won't pipe down until midnight. The single rooms might be a better bet if you to sleep early. All told,one of my better experiences on Airbnb.
