Alessandro's apartment was perfectly located for our stay in London. It was minutes from Victoria station so we were able to take a train to and from the airport, as well as the tube when travelling around the city. It is also walking distance from Buckingham Palace! Although the neighbourhood was quiet, there were plenty of restaurants, pubs and convenience stores around. Try out Pimlico Fresh for delicious brunch. As many other reviewers mentioned, the stairs were very steep which we found amusing but would definitely be problematic for a person with mobility issues. The apartment was very clean, however we did find some personal belongings left behind by a previous guest and had to go out to purchase toilet paper as we arrived to less than one roll available.
