Our stay at Giulio's place was one of our best experiences travelling with Airbnb. We were a couple staying for 4 nights. We wanted a special place to spend our days in the UK capital, which is what Giulio's place offered us.
Giulio's is a large apartment on the 1st floor of a formerly industrial place. This imprints a character to the apartment that aligns with the history of its immediate neighbourhood. The pictures do not make justice to how nicely designed and spacious it is. We loved the open-floor distribution with several spaces fit for different purposes. In particular, the sofas' corner with a hi-fi system and a giant projector with direct access to Netflix or Apple TV provided a superb way to relax after spending a day exploring London.
Everything was clean and tidy. The place and its furniture make the place unique. The rooftop terrace (as big as the whole apartment) is fantastic - although cold, rainy weather did not allow us to enjoy it fully. Despite the inclement weather, the apartment remained warm and tastefully lighted during our stay. The kitchen is fully equipped as is the bathroom.
Location is excellent. Between 5-10 min away from the underground and 1-2 min to the closest bus stop, served by several lines. The area has some nice places to eat, grab a beer, or just go for a walk. The apartment, however, is in a quiet corner with no noise or traffic.
Finally, Giulio was a very responsive, helpful and kind host. He went out of his way to make sure everything worked fine and we had a nice stay.
We would strongly recommend it and would love to visit again.
