Alja's place is an older apartment in an quiet residential setting. It is one block from the tub station and feet from a bus stop. Many shops, restaurants, pubs are all in easy walking distance. Famous sites such as the Tate Modern and Westminster are also walkable or a very short ride away.
The apartment had everything we needed really. It is roomy compared with other places we have stayed in England. The apartment was spotless. There is some renovation work going on in the building and on the neighboring building, but we didn't hear anything during the days we were there and, again, the rooms were spotless. That's an accomplishment given the renovations going on. The furnishings are newer, so no complaints there either. The clothes washer was a great help to us. The apartment has a balcony and plenty of windows. We enjoyed opening them for the evening breeze. I recommend this place. It is inexpensive and nice.
