Overall we had great stay in London in Alex's flat. You can tell he's a designer by all the fun and funky art, furniture, books etc. in his place. The location is really good with the train station around the corner and lots of stores in walking distance. If you arrive by car, make sure to discuss the parking situation beforehand, as it is only free with a resident permit. We never met Alex but thanks to very detailed instructions and the key box (bit tricky to operate) it worked fine for us. Alex is fast to respond to any questions including good recommendations on pubs and cafes etc in the area. All in all we can definitely recommend his flat for your London getaway trip
