Pros (+) Great location, friendly stuff and a modest room for five guests to sleep. Good value for money if you don't mind dorm-like conditions.
Cons (-) Authentic late 19 century London building with huge drafty windows and a retrofitted 4'x4' (1.5x1.5 m) bathroom cabin with fully functional toilet, sink and shower, which demanded quite a skill from the user.
