This apartment had plenty of space for four adults and a toddler. The neighborhood is nice, pretty quiet but close enough to restaurants and shops. Very easy to travel by bus or Tube. The apartment is stocked with a few basics, including milk and some snacks, which makes it a little easier to settle in-you don't have to run out to the grocery right away.

I was worried about this reservation because I had a hard time contacting Alessandro before we arrived-I had to ask Airbnb for help. Also, this apartment was offered as an alternative to another one of his properties that had become unavailable. Once we were in town Alessandro responded quickly to our concerns, even reimbursing us for laundry costs when the washing machine broke.
