Brian's place is lovely, warm, light and spacious. The impressive cleanliness and minimalist furnishing make the space a delight to inhabit. Brain was extremely communicative and accepted us graciously at late notice. The location is great and extremely well connected to central London. Half an hour on the tube will have you pretty much wherever you want to be. It is also within easy walking distance from a number of shops and the pub across the road served surprisingly good food.
The area surrounding the flat is one of London's less well-to-do districts and as such is inhabited by some unsavory characters. The groups of shouting young men hanging around out the front of the local community centre at night made me and my girlfriend feel a bit uncomfortable walking home late at night. We altered our route the next night but no one actually ever bothered us. Shouting and hooning continued outside the window during the night but did not disturb us. Inside feels very safe and secure.
I would definitely stay at Brian's again. The place exactly matches the description as is as nice as it looks in the photos. The bed was so clean and comfortable I could have been in the Ritz-Carlto. It was excellent value for money and Brian is a great host, he was friendly but gave us plenty of space and privacy. And on top of all that it's super quick and easy to get to central London, which is what we really wanted anyway!
