My husband and I recently stayed 10 days at Ali's apartment, along with my 83-year-old mother-in-law. We all really appreciated the apt's terrific location - literally a 3-minute walk to the West Brompton tube station and multiple bus routes - which was much more central than I realized from just looking at a city map. The neighbourhood of Fulham Broadway is just a 10 minute walk away and has everything you could ask for - good restaurants, multiple grocery shopping options (inc Whole Foods), a mall and cinema, and bars and pubs. There are also a couple of gastro pubs even closer - we recommend the Lille Langtry.
The apartment could benefit from a few personal touches and amenities such as a broom and new pillows, but it has extremely comfortable beds and an amazing shower (bathrooms were recently renovated) - so we all felt really rested and refreshed during our stay. The little outdoor garden was a nice treat to sit out in on sunny evenings after a day touring the city.
Last but definitely not least, Ali was a terrific host - very responsive when we had questions, quick to check up on us after the London Bridge tragedy, and very gracious when my goof-up with the keys upon leaving meant he had to get a locksmith (Note - do NOT leave the keys in the door!). Thank you again for helping to make out trip so memorable, Ali!
