great location studio room tiny kitchenette basement room traffic noise check-in process

the location was pretty good (easy access to the tube!). the studio room had a settee and a tiny kitchenette. i found two fans in the wardrobe because the room was quite hot.

the check-in process involved filling out a page of information on a tablet upon arrival. they took a £20 deposit on my card. the room i had was in the basement, windows did little to block traffic noise.
