This was my first time using airbnb, and I'm very glad I found Alessandro's flat through the site. Processing my transaction through airbnb's site was flawless.

The flat is exactly what you see in the photos. It's small but has a lot of charm, and there's definitely enough room for two.

Upon our arrival, the place was tidy and clean, and there was a welcoming bottle of wine on the table for us. The cupboards were stocked with cereal, tea, coffee, and snacks. The fridge had beverages, and we had pots, pans, glasses, etc. that we used throughout our 3 week stay in the UK. The walls are somewhat thin and you could hear heavy footfalls, but all was tolerable.

Alessandro gave us ample information about the area/neighborhood and how to get around the city via bus or the tube. The flat's location is absolutely superb - near major train/underground stations and a 24-hr. bus route that can take you to all corners of the city (directly or with minimal transfers).

Overall, our stay was quite a wonderful and positive experience. Though I never met Alessandro in person, he was a great host and answered our questions and concerns, along with Carol who was in charge of keeping the place clean. Carol also helped us with our needs and did indeed keep the place very clean.

Our trip to London was a very memorable one, and part of this was having a small place we could call our temporary home while in the UK. If you are planning on visiting London, I highly recommend Alessandro's flat - especially, if you are looking for a place to call your home away from home.
