We stayed with Z and Alex for 16 nights. Their location was excellent -- close proximity to the tube, restaurants and shops. Very eclectic and safe neighborhood. Room was as advertised -- a small oasis in a big city. Clean and tastefully decorated with room to spread out and relax. MUCH better than a hotel room. We REALLY enjoyed the included breakfasts. Lots of variety -- at least 5 different meals. Excellent quality from an on-staff chef who was very personable and very good at what he does. When we head back to London, we will book again at Alex and Z's place.
