The pictures are exact replicas. Comfortable, cozy, perfect for two. I stayed in this room on the 6th floor with my mom and it was a perfect place to begin our adventures. Literally, every Londoner I met who found out where I was staying was envious!

1. Alessandro is an amazing host, easy to get a hold and available as much as we needed him. From directions to his place, to instructions on the bus vs tube (Take the BUS!! Cheaper than the tube and the stop is right outside his door!!!), places to eat, places to drink -- whatever you needed. We were there a week and it went by too fast.

2. His staff is excellent, kept everything cleaned and refreshed. We shared a bathroom with another room, but honestly, we always felt like we had it to ourselves. Also, the bathroom is outside your room, but both rooms and bathroom are in their own little hallway so you're never really interacting with people in the stairwell. It's no different than if you stayed at your Aunts and Uncles house.

3. You have access to a washer and dryer. It's worth its weight in gold. PACK LESS! Wash more! He even lets you borrow his detergent, which is nice.

4. Location. Location. Location. 5 min. walk to Victoria if you take Wilton. Otherwise the #24 is literally steps away from your door and its a night bus so no worries about not getting home. Kazan, Pimlico Fresh are great places to eat and a Sainsbury near you if you want to cook. Speaking of which...

5. You can cook! Save money. Comes with all you need to make meals and he even had a starter kit for us: Milk, bread, butter, cereal, coffee/tea, etc. Plus small snacks AND a welcome bottle of wine.

You must book this place. It's literally in the best location, he is a wonderful host and you won't do any better.
