Alex’s apartment is an absolute delight! It looks exactly like the pictures. The place has tons of natural light and great ventilation. There are large windows in every room. The living room has a dining area and a seating area. The sofa is one of the most comfortable on which I’ve sat. There is also a printer that you can use, which is super helpful for printing out all the documents you would need to cross borders during the pandemic.
The bedroom is spacious too. The mattress and bedding are super comfortable and I had my most restful sleep at this apartment during my five-week trip. It has a large closet with a hundred clothes hangers for your use. Finally, the apartment is tastefully decorated, looks stylish, feels cozy. It’s truly a home away from home.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would possibly need. Stainless steel pots and pans are ready for any cooking you might want to do. The kitchen has a dishwasher as well as a washer-dryer laundry unit, which is a lifesaver.
The location of the apartment couldn’t be better. It’s a 10-minute Uber ride away from St Pancras station. And it is within walking distance to Oxford Street if you want to do any shopping. There are tons of grocery stores and restaurants nearby. Tottenham Court Road, which is 8-min walk away from the apartment, has everything you would need during your travel. You would find electronic stores (Argos/ Currys), Asian grocery store (Oseyo), stationary shop (Ryman), Muji, bookstore (Waterstones), and luggage store (Samsonite). If you are in London, this IS the place to be.
Alex is a fantastic host, always ready to help with any of the questions that I have. Special thanks to him for putting up with some mix-ups in my travel plan. I couldn’t be more grateful for his patience and kindness.
I highly recommend this apartment to any traveler to London!
