Comfortable older apartment in a great area. Walking distance to parks, city center, places to eat and drink. Oxford Street is a gritty, funky area.
Good, helpful communication with the host.
Need to realize that it is the host's apartment, so you live with his things around you. That is not what I normally like, but it was short term. When the upstairs neighbors walk around, or talk loudly, you hear it. I would not want to be in the apartment long term.
The building is secure and on a quiet street.
For me this would only be a short term rental for the reasons I mentioned. The location does make up for some of the other (to me) shortcomings.
