My daughter and I stayed for 3 nights at Alessandro's apartment in Gloucester Street. This was our first airbnb experience, and we were highly impressed with our room, the host, and our location - all were absolutely perfect! I rang Alessandro from the airport and he arranged for us to be met at the apartment by the housekeeper who showed us to our room. He popped by later to introduce himself and make sure that we had everything we needed. Our room was great - brand new (as advertised) with a very functional compact kitchen, dining table and 2 chairs, double bed and wardrobe\drawers - all fitted into one room. We shared a (new) bathroom/toilet and additional toilet with one other room but we actually never saw anyone else during our stay. I also used the washing machine for a small fee. My daughter and I were perfectly at home there and didn't want to leave! Despite freezing weather, we were so centrally located in London that we managed to see everything we had planned, plus we had the luxury of coming "home" to a warm (heated) room. I forgot to mention that Alessandro also provided a complimentary bottle of wine, light breakfast, candle, and an extra mattress for my daughter to sleep on, plus a map of London. He was courteous, thoughtful, and really the ideal host. We felt looked after while having our own space completely.
