Full marks to Alix and her beautiful place. We spent five days in London last Christmas and staying at Alix’s was a great decision. Firstly, her flat is very well-connected to the city centre by bus, which is a cheaper way to travel than the tube plus you get to see London unfold before you. Moreover, her beautifully decorated flat overlooks a courtyard so it is very quiet and relaxing. On top of that, the guest room boasts an extremely comfortable bed.

If you are lucky enough to stay during the weekend, don’t miss Alix’s breakfast; she really goes the extra mile preparing it. As for Alix, she is very friendly and helpful; her title of “superhost” is well deserved. If you ask her in advance, she can lend you a couple of bicycles.

Finally, Hackney has got a good vibe about it. We got very fond of the Pembury Tavern; it is good place near Alix’s to go for a quiet pint. In a nutshell, we highly recommend Alix´s to anybody who wants to visit London.
