Great location, plenty of great places nearby to explore, easy access to transportation for work/play. I stayed a week, cooked a few meals, did laundry -- fine experience. Near King's Cross, a hub for backpackers and a night scene, and the crowd that likes that kind of thing. I found a couple of great places to eat nearby, bars to my taste, even some live music. Hosts are friendly, gave me a walk-through and some good recommendations for places to go.
