Everything worked really effortlessly! The self check in was easy, which was a huge plus considering our late arrival. The apartment was exactly as described. We liked the location a lot; there are grocery stores nearby, the Bayswater tube station is a quick walk away and the area felt safe.
Only downside about the apartment was the humidity, it was really noticeably damp in there. But then again, that was consistent with what we expected England to be in general, so we accepted it with good humour.
Ali was a really good host, we knew he would be available if need be, but he didn't butt in either. We absolutely recommend this place and booking a stay in one if Ali's places!
