The directions provided to the flat were perfect, it was very easy to get in, which was helpful because we had battled the massive tube strike all day and were tired. There was a bottle of wine upon arrival, and the flat was tidy. The location was amazing. We booked here specifically for the balcony, which was very quiet and quaint. We ate dinner out here both nights and really it was the highlight of our stay.

As other reviewers have stated, the stairs were more like a ladder, which was fine for us. The flat was missing a corkscrew and paper towels, which I e-mailed to Alessandro and his housekeeper brought us some the very next morning. This level of attention was very much appreciated and really shows how the host is willing to go above and beyond.

Of note, there were no candles as advertised, which we were looking forward to as we were celebrating our anniversary. And though the "free mini bar" was advertised and we were very much looking forward to it, there was only one of everything for us to share: one beer, one orange juice, etc and I wish there had been at least one per person (or even one per person per day). The "free light breakfast" was cereal and milk, which again we very much appreciated, but we didn't have much choice as it was basically special K or cocoa pebbles. Basically if you're booking this flat for these amenities, don't go in with too high of expectations.
