Home truths
There's no lift in the building, so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility
At capacity, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area – this will be at the expense of lounge space however, so we think this home is best suited to two guests
A cot is available on request
The decor here is functional and the bathroom may feel a little dated to some
The building's entrance and garden are shared with the other residents
There's no desk here, but the dining table can double up as a laptop-friendly workspace
It's possible you might hear some noise from neighbours during your stay
We recommend skipping the car here and exploring London on foot or by public transport instead
