Maryum was a very nice host and provided immediate help when needed.
The room was big enough for two people and clean enough on the surface. The neighbors were pretty loud at times.
The street and neighborhood was nice and quiet but the area of the tube station was fairly shady at night. There a plenty of very nice restaurants and breakfast places around.
Its a 15min walk from the house to the underground station and the picadilly line takes another 45min downtown (picadilly circus) and about 1:20h to Heathrow airport. Since southgate station is in zone 4, the costs for the tube were adding up and averaged about 15 pounds a day.
