I was met by Nick and Ala on arrival and both were very gracious. Nick also carried my somewhat heavy suitcase up the flight of stairs which was very kind of him. The upstairs apartment of this Victorian house was very nicely decorated, new in appearance and modern. The dining room, kitchen and sitting room are all separate rooms of a good size. It was free of clutter and very clean. We could hear the downstairs occupants from time to time and I guess they probably could hear us but it didn't really disturb us. There is no dishwasher and also no washer/dryer which may or may not be an issue for some but since we were here for only 4 nights and also didn't cook, it was fine. I liked the fact that a new sponge and cleaning cloth were provided. So often a used one is left and we have to buy our own since you can't know how much bacteria is on an old one. The apartment is located around the corner of Kensington Market so very nicely located.
