Getting the key was easy but all during our stay, we had trouble unlocking both the entrance to the building and our room. The keys were difficult to turn and the locks themselves were loose. The room was small with a kitchen area - sink, refrigerator, and hot plate. A microwave would have been more useful. There was no sink in the bathroom so shaving was difficult going from the kitchen sink to a mirror in the main part of the room. The first night the bed was uncomfortable. You could feel the springs which made it hard to sleep. The next morning we found the boxspring was upside down. We turned it over and had no problems afterwards. It is 1 block away from the Seven Sisters tube stop, which is about a 30 minute trip to the theatre district and main shopping areas. A Sainsbury grocery and a Tesco Supermarket are a block away and small independent grocers and shops line the streets nearby.
