Alex is a wonderful host. Her home is in a GREAT location for many varied needs. I was here for a 2 week educational program at a local university, and the space more than met my needs. The apartment's room is clean, great lighting with some nice extra amenities from standard, appreciated the use of her washer, just outside the room. Southern part of Islington (London's first borough) is a great neighborhood and Alex's apartment is particularly well positioned between Barbican and Old Street. Thanks again Alex!
