This flat was in a great location, it was very close to Victoria station, shopping, pubs and parks. We could easily walk to Buckingham Palace and the bus ride downtown took 10 minutes. The flat was clean and everything looked new. The patio was a real treat and we ate dinner out there a few times. Things we didn't like were that stairs going up to the kitchen were very very steep; if you wanted to have some wine upstairs, I recommend you take the outer stairs down. Also, the mattress was terrible, you could feel every coil. Although the bathroom was pleasantly appointed, it was not very functional. I am 5' and I could not easily fit in the shower. My mom, who was with me, said that she would not come back with my dad (who is 6' and slender) because he simply wouldn't fit. Finally our communications with Alessandro where always good, and he was always pleasant and easy to deal with.
