The area is busy and loud all night long and a bit dirty but VERY close to the underground. There is no a/c in the apartment or it is on very low so it's very hot and you have to open the windows to get any air so there is no way to not hear the ambulances and police and motorcycles all night long. The aparment was clean and well kept though. Nice furnishings and comfy beds. There are 3 flights of stairs though so be aware of that. Very easy underground rides from this location to anywhere in London so that was nice and the hosts were very accomodating to let usbleave our bags early so we didnt have to lug them around for 3 hours.
