I can only recommend staying at Alex's flat when you're in London. Even though we didn't meet her in person (as she was abroad), Alex was always available to answer our questions, organise the check-in etc. The flat itself is beautifully decorated, modern and equipped with everything one might need or want (like microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, netflix etc.). There is a variety of shops nearby. Transport into central London is easy by bus and tube or DLR. Thank you Alex for hosting us!
