Our family of four (2 adults, 2 children age 10) stayed at Aleksander’s flat during mid-March 2017. As this was our first AirBnB experience, we were pleasantly surprised at all Aleksander did to make our stay memorable. While not exhaustive, below are a few items that made the experience positive:
1.	Location – well situated in Pimlico with a short walk to Pimlico tube station or Victoria station. Walking distance to Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and London Eye. Close to many great restaurants and Sainsbury grocery market.
2.	Amenities – well stocked kitchen and bath with quality cheeses, deli meats, breads, yogurts, juices, milk, and Fortnum and Mason teas and condiments. We made fresh baguettes each morning which were easy and fantastic to take on road trips. Our children enjoyed using the Wii gaming system while we drank our tea/coffee on the terrace with a fantastic view of Big Ben and the London Eye. We were also able to print tickets to several attractions using the WiFi printer.
3.	Overall product – Clean, safe, with lots of natural light. Plenty of room for a family of four without feeling cramped. One bathroom can be difficult to manage for an entire family but we made it work. No privacy locks on bedrooms which can be a blessing or curse depending on your preference. There is a comfortable topper on the master bedroom mattress, however, it can become lumpy after a few days.
4.	Communication: Aleksander was in constant communication and provided a loaner phone to use within the UK. While we didn’t use the phone, he was available 24/7 for any questions. Additionally, Aleksander reached out to us immediately during a high profile security incident on Westminster Bridge to ensure we were safe and unharmed.
Our only feedback for Aleksander is to ensure his guests are aware that the address provided via AirBnB subsequent to booking is scrambled and incorrect. While I understand Aleksander’s concerns around security, the flat is a product and should be advertised as such as the address provided can be misleading. Additionally, surrounding neighbors appear very sensitive to noise. While we were not loud by any means, we did receive a note from his neighbors asking us to keep noise levels to a minimum.
Would definitely recommend to family and friends.
