Alessandro’s studio is awesome! While it’s a bit quaint, it’s the perfect place for a solo traveler like myself. Alessandro gifts travelers with a bottle of red wine, which is a thoughtful gesture, depending on how long you’ve journeyed. (I came in from Amsterdam) The place looks just like the photos and it’s a 10 minute walk (if that) to Victoria Station and down the block from the yummy French restaurant Grumbles. There’s a convenience store nearby where you can by small things and also purchase and top-up your Oyster card if you plan on taking public transportation. Alessandro’s place is an awesome choice and he was more than kind and helpful.
