This place was perfect for my wife and I in London. It's a real neighborhood with no touristy frills. Lots of resraunts and grocery stores. The place was very clean and had more than what we needed. Don't let the fact that it's a "private room" scare you off. You will have your own everything and a private entrance. We were able to meet Alessandro, he was an incredible host- very kind and knowledgeable of the area.
