Alix was very welcoming from the start, weeks before we made the trip to London. All the information on the website is also very accurate. The neighborhood was just as nice as she described it, close to the central parts of London, but quite and nice for resting and sleeping nighttime. The Strand Building is really beautiful and nobody has insight to the place when you're there.
It was not possible to get access to the room before 5pm the first day, so we had a meal at a really nice cafe nearby (thank you for the tip Alix!), where they had really nice cakes together with great coffee as well.
There were no problems sorting things out with Alix. The last day she wanted us to be out of the apartment at 10am, but we needed to keep our bags there until 2pm, and that was OK with her. :)
