I was greeted by Alison's husband Ian. Ian was super nice and very helpful. He gave me tour and showed me my way around the apartment. We had tea, milk, sparkling water and even a bottle of bubbles in the fridge! I absolutely loved this apartment! It was exactly as described and pictured. Being the dead of Winter, London was extremely cold and wet, especially for an Aussie gal like myself but the apartment was always warm, and welcoming. It also had all the creature comforts - great heating, instant hot water, a great selection of literature/books, dishwasher, an Apple TV and blue tooth speakers. It's location is in East London, a very cool area, close by are great eateries and public transport into the centre of town is abundant, and easily accessible. There is also a corner store across the road from the apartment which was super convenient.
