Sasha's place might be a good fit for some people. For me ... I would have done things differently on this trip. If it's a matter of paying an extra 50 GBP for a hotel room...I would definitely do that. Here's why. WARNING: This apartment is right above train tracks with subway trains going by every 10 minutes. This was absolutely NOT disclosed on the description of the apartment and I was pretty upset upon arrival. Even after I had specifically dialogued with Sasha and asked about any noise, etc...he didn't mention anything about this. If you are a light sleeper or are hoping to be some place fairly quiet...forget about it. Also besides the train, this is a large apartment building...mostly working professionals but a lot of young people too. There were two nights were there were parties going on late in the evening. Just overall...this is not a quiet place. What else? The internet at times is intermittent or slows to a crawl (like 3 MB / down). Also the hairdryer did not work...so my entire time in London was a "hat" wearing trip. Not fun. Also the elevators were down for the entire trip (1 was working out of 3). Minor inconvenience but worth noting. Also there was an issue with the key fob (in other words there is none to get into the building) Apparently, I got the complete vibe that AirBnb'ing isn't allowed with this building and I had to check in with the security most every time I came in.
