Alexey's place is so lovely and clean. It is on a really vibrant but non-touristy street and 5 minutes away from Portobello Road. They had a beautiful kitchen with all the essentials (kettle, microwave, tea, coffee).

My friend and I had some key pickup/drop off issues and Alexey was super responsive and accommodating. Really he and his girlfriend Maria were so lovely and understanding.

A few small things would have made the stay a little bit better would be to have some spare toilet paper, the key was hard to use (but there were several locks from the street to the flat door so it felt very safe). Having towels would be a nice touch too.
