Alessandro is a great host. He is attentive, accommodating, prompt in reply, and helpful during our whole stay. My husband, 7 month baby, and I felt right at home at the beautiful flat in a great neighborhood.
Alessandro- Alessandro kept great correspondence that helped us plan our trip and made life much easier. We received information for maps, nearby restaurants (many great ones), and easy key pick up/drop off transactions. Alessandro accommodated our check in/check out times, helped us store our baggage when we were late/early, and responded promptly to our inquiries.
The room- The room was clean and had a nice modern, cozy feeling to it. Everything was clean, and we enjoyed the complimentary refreshments. Just a reminder, if you are traveling with a different country outlet, you may have to purchase one yourself. We had a lot of space to put our clothing, baby stuff, and luggage in the apartment. The balcony with the chair/desk was a great addition and made the stay much more enjoyable than it already was.
Bathroom- Sharing a bathroom and shower with one other room was not a problem at all. The bathroom was clean and stocked with toilet paper. We never even bumped into our next door neighbors. Never had to wait too long to use the restroom and no complaints from this experience.
The neighborhood- A lot of great restaurants and pubs around. Victoria station was a short walking distance(10 mins?) from the flat. Walking around at night was safe and easy to navigate. It does not get too loud at night when we sleep. Alessandro provided us with maps both printed and digital that helped us find our way and locate nearby restaurants and shops. we recommend "Karzan" a Turkish restaurant, the "Marquis of Westminster" (great pub), and "Chimes" great pub/restaurant with excellent cider. Every morning we traveled to "Regency Cafe" to eat a traditional English Fried breakfast.
Overall, great trip and Alessandro certainly helped us enjoy ourselves and our stay. Definitely will check for Alessandro next time we are back in town.
