Our overall stay at Ali's place was lovely, we had a good night's sleep and the apartment is equipped well enough. The apartment is on the ground/basement level. It would heat up quickly so you won't feel the cold at any point while inside. The neighbourhood seems safe and it is quiet during the night. We mostly used buses to reach the metro and central London.
We did have an unpleasant situation with the level of cleanliness when we arrived, but apparently, it was the cleaning company's slip and with Ali's assistance was resolved.
We highly appreciated the fact Ali responds in no time, and we were covered with everything we wanted to know.
