Ali's place is situated 5 minutes from Queensway Station making it a nice and convenient apartment from which to explore London. There are also supermarkets (even an Asian grocer) and food options nearby.
On the downside, we had to struggle with the shower a little. On the first day, the shower would turn from freezing cold water to boiling hot without ever reaching a comfortable temperatur This happened again on our third day, which meant that we only had a decent shower on the second day. Also, the place smelled musly the entire time we were there. The kettle was also in an unusable state.
Nonetheless, we had a good stay,Ali was a great host and nothing was quite a deal breaker.
