My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay at Alex's flat, and he could not have been a more responsive host. I underestimated the time it would take to get there from Birmingham and so we were nearly 30 minutes late. Alex was no less gracious. We also got locked out -- which could have been a disaster. Alex was all over it, though, and it was a non-event.
The location was really nice, in a quiet neighborhood of beautiful row houses and a short walk to the tube (and Starbucks). We enjoyed several great neighborhood pubs, and had a spectacular meal at Elystan Street, also in Chelsea and highly recommended.
Thanks, Alex!
