We arrived 2 hours later than expected from Heathrow and Ali greeted us with warmth and friendliness. He couldn't have been a more gracious host. The flat was more than we had hoped for. Although advertised as a basement, it is really predominantly above ground. The kitchen space is airy and bright, complete with a skylight. The place is beautifully equipped with everything one would need for a pleasant stay. The flat is located round the corner, a 3 minute walk to the West Brompton Tube Station which gets you into the heart of London easily. We highly recommend Ali's flat and would love to come back.
