GREAT LOCATION AND HOST! Our family stayed at Alessandro's flat from August 16-21st. It was a great alternative for a family of four (with adult children aged 17 and 20) and considerably less expensive than two London hotel rooms. Almost all of the key tourist sites are within walking distance (30-45 minutes) and Victoria station, a key train and Tube stop, is a 10 minute walk away.
We were pleasantly surprised by the bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival and a few key essentials in the cupboard.
The only surprise was the lack of a sofa bed as advertised which is one of the reasons we selected this flat. We made it work but it was a less than ideal arrangement for our 5'7" daughter.
