Alex's place was great! Extremely central location with a lot of grocery stores, restaurants, pubs, and things to do that are walkable. The access to the Tube (Embankment) and Charing Cross Station couldn't be beat with a few minute walk away.
The apartment was very cozy and comfortable, and was obviously recently renovated. The elevator in the building is a manual lift so it took a little more effort, but was fine once you got the hang of it.
All in all a great place to stay in London and Alex was a very responsive host!
