This clean and modern flat in Pimlico was perfect for me during my three days in London. It was close to the tube station on the Victoria line (only 3-4 blocks), but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of London to allow for a quieter stay. The flat is comfortable for a single traveler or couple who don't mind being in close quarters. Although some might find that the flat (being a studio/bachelor) and bathroom facilities (i.e., shower) are small for North American standards, they are what can be expected from Europe. If you want/need a bigger space, then stay at a 'western' style hotel or be prepared to pay a lot more for accommodation. Sharing the bathroom facilities was not a problem, as you are only sharing with one other flat and there are two toilet rooms.

A downside: There is no elevator, so be prepared to haul your luggage up a few flights of stairs. Upsides: Alessandro seemed to be available to help if needed, a bottle of red is provided, and I felt safe walking back to the flat at night by myself.

Overall, this flat was good value for money and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a hotel alternative in London!
