Alessandro's flat was perfect for a short stay in London. Upon our arrival, it had recently been cleaned and stocked with area maps and even a nice bottle of wine. It's a very small space but was fine for 2 people. For the most part, we were exploring the town so it didn't even matter! There's a closet (with a hairdryer and towels) as well as a dresser should you need more storage.

At first I was concerned about a shared bathroom with the floor's other studio, but it wasn't an issue at all. It was incredibly clean, as was the shower. The toilet is in a separate room from the shower, so it can be a slight hassle to bring your belongings in/out each time you shower. Alessandro left a small body soap, but I'd recommend bringing travel body wash, shampoo, etc.

The building is safe and in a convenient location for public transportation. It was also quiet - both in the neighborhood and in the studio. The only downside was the stairs - there's no elevator and this flat is on the top floor. We were fine with small bags, but it would be a struggle with large suitcases, or for those not as mobile.

As we departed, we met Alessandro outside the building. He's so nice and personable! He even accommodated a last-minute late checkout, which was certainly appreciated. Alessandro also contacted me frequently throughout our stay to ensure it was enjoyable, and he also provided his assistant's info should there be issues. I applaud his genuinely kind and persistent communication.

I definitely recommend this flat - just remember the stairs! But if you're in need of a nice, clean space with a reliable host, this is definitely a fantastic choice.
