We had a lovely weeklong stay at Ali’s flat! Myself, my husband, our two kids, and my mother all stayed here quite comfortably. The apartment was very clean and inviting, beds comfortable, kitchen spotless. Ali was even kind enough to stock up a few extra items in the refrigerator and provide a high chair for the infant. When he met us in person to check in he gave us lots of local tips on where to eat, things to do, places to see. The garden was lovely, our kids enjoyed, and the washer/dryer was a big help. Location was great, just off the West Brompton stop on the District line, far enough removed from the city to escape the hustle and bustle but close enough that you’re within all the major attractions in minutes. My only word of caution if visiting in summer: I didn’t read the apartment description carefully enough and there’s no AC (totally my mistake as it’s clearly stated). Wasn’t a problem for us as we live in an NYC apartment without AC as well, but did come as a shock to some of our traveling companions. The kitchen has a glass roof, so if it’s a particularly hot day outside the apartment does get very warm during the day, but cools
off nicely at night and Ali provided plenty of fans which we put to good use (we were gone most of the time during the day anyway so was largely a non-issue). Overall a great stay and would highly recommend!
