Overall, great experience with Alex. Location is great, conveniently placed between Barbican and Old Street, and St Pancras stations. Quiet and comfy bed with all the basics you need for your stay.
I appreciated that Alex communicated about the works in the house that would be performed during my stay and the possible nuisance. So, no surprise there.
The surprise was when I arrived and saw that the room was no longer as per the pics. The main white cupboard that makes the room look so clean and tidy on the pics has been in fact, removed last Jan 2016 (I made the reservation on Feb2), so you do no longer have a place to store and hide your luggage, shoes, and other stuff...this may sound like a detail, but as a guest I like to get exactly what is shown on the pics (or be told before check-in that I will find some change ;p !)...
Alex and I discussed about this, and she promised to update the pictures on her profile asap to make them compliant!
