Alex was a wonderful host. My kids think he is awesome. He greeted us when we arrived, opened the door when we locked ourselves out and helped us by printing our train tickets. His place has historical elements and modern elements to make for gracious living in London. I would like to find something negative to say so you don't rent it and so it will be available when I want it. We used the stove and oven to heat up some leftovers. We used washing machine without reading the directions and by the end of the day, the machine not only washed our clothes but it dried them as well, without having to take them out. Why don't we have machines like this in America? I suppose these machines are available and now I will have to get one. The flat is very close to two major train stops and walking distance to the Eye of London.
