We flew from Melbourne to London for a 10 day stay, and can honestly say that our trip would never have been as enjoyable and comfortable if we hadn't been so well looked after by Alessandro. A beautiful spacious ( in London!) room, with a kitchenette and patio, all appointed and maintained to a 5-star level, with peace and quiet, and everything we could need - for an amazing price. It was fantastically warm, and a delight to return to at the end of every hectic day. We also saved a lot by having the facilities to make our own meals/drinks, and just have a quiet night in if we wanted. The location is perfect - easy walk to Victoria trains and buses/excellent pubs/shops/restaurants/supermarket/street market/op shops, and incredibly convenient. Alessandro did everything necessary to ensure we had a great stay - he met us at the door (after a delayed flight), we had our own keys, our own fridge, and sharing a beautifully maintained bathroom with one other room down the hall was not a problem at all. Basically we felt like we had our own special place for the duration of our stay, and the independence and easy access to everything made us feel like we were 'at home' in London. Won't hesitate to recommend Alessandro's place, and will certainly be checking in again for any return visits!
