Alessandro is the perfect host; he is responsive, knowledgeable, and very communicative. The room is well appointed and very tidy. The only thing that we would caution is you be sure to check of the offering is truly a full apartment. We thought we were booking a full apartment but instead had a shared bathroom, which is not something we prefer. Otherwise though the room was great in terms of location and accessibility to the tube, great pubs, amenities, and points of interest.
We would recommend a full apartment with Alessandro and would reserve such a listing with him again should we return to London.
