Location: ideal, within walking distance of major sites like the London eye, Big Ben, buckingham palace. You'll need to take the train to tower bridge but could walk/bike back if up for it. Right by 2 train stations and numerous bus stations. There are a Tesco and Sainesbury market nearby and a bunch of food/dining options. Safe neighborhood.
Amenities: the apartment is updated and outfitted with Ikea! The bathroom was clean and so was the apartment. We stayed in an apartment on the first floor of the building- there was a toilet next to our room, but the shower was upstairs. The description says private bathroom, but the toilet and shower aren't attached/ensuite to the room. The kitchen had everything we needed. Wifi worked great! Both the laundry facilities were out of order. The doors in the apartment are so loud. Any time a door is closed the walls shake and echo the heavy thud. Definitely woke us up in the morning.
Host: generous with breakfast and snacks, also provided wine, a map (so useful) and a converter. I sent Alessandro 2 messages on Air BnB and never heard back from him, but did get a text message the last day from someone named Carol who let us store our luggage at the apartment late.
It would've been nice to hear back from Alessandro since we had questions about the area during/prior to arrival.
