Alex’s place was a great find. The location of this flat is ideal if you want to still be in central London but in a slightly quieter neighborhood. The street where the apartment is located was quiet, safe and just lovely really. We loved that we were a 5 minute walk from a 24 hour tesco in one direction and the entrance to the tube as well as a bus stop in the other direction. Having two tube lines available was a big plus too and made exploring London a breeze. We have a one year old son and having the Holland Park toddler playground within 10-15 minutes walk was a nice way to start or end our days and kept him sane.
The flat was well laid out and there was plenty of space for the three of us. Plenty of amenities too especially having a washer/dryer right in the flat - that was a big help. If you are a very light sleeper, you may want to bring ear plugs or white noise as trains do pass a short distance from the building at all hours. It didn’t bother us at all but I could see that it could be an issue for someone else.
Overall we are so happy that we found this flat. Alex was so responsive when we had questions and was very accommodating to allow us to drop our luggage off early as well. We look forward to coming back and highly recommend Alex’s flat!
