Alvaro's place is a very lovely three bedroom home right by the water and a very close walk to restaurants, shops and the Hammersmith tube station which was great. Two of the bedrooms faced the back garden which was nice and green.
Alvaro was quick to respond to any enquiries, however his communication was quite abrupt and I was quite disappointed when we asked about the bath plug (as we had three little children and wanted to use the bath each day) and he said there wasn't one and we could buy one in any shop for a pound and he would pay us back. I didn't know if he was being sarcastic but after going to four local shops (including poundland and ikea) and not finding one I gave up. I thought it would have been more appropriate for Alvaro to drop off a plug to save us the trouble as it is expected when you pay for a bath that you can use it. It was also not so easy to get one and I would have had to get a bus to screwfix which would have cost me more time and money that I doubt Alvaro would have compensated. Secondly, our family was locked out one night as the person we stayed with had locked both the deadlocks on the front door before going to sleep and the house key only undid one of the locks. We were then in a very unfortunate situation late at night with our 2 yr old and 6 yr old and this could have been avoided if keys for both locks were provided.
