For starters, Alison is amazing. The circumstances of my arrival to London were unpredictable, and she was totally communicative and willing to accommodate the crazy nature of my schedule. She was more that just a fantastic host -- she showed that she was a compassionate person! And in terms of the flat itself, I thought it was great. It was bigger than most London studios, particularly the ones you find in Belsize Park & Chalk Farm. It had plenty of room, a nice rear patio, and a spacious kitchen. It was quiet & setback off the road so road & traffic noise wasn't an issue. A 1 min walk from Chalk Farm tube. Just a stellar spot. Clean, adequately appointed, and solid in every way. Thank you!
