Big great stay! A big shout out to Alessandro & his house keeper carol for making this stay a pleasant one.

I was on a business trip in London for 6 days & was staying at another hotel for the first 3. Since most hotels tend to boot you out by noon, I did request for an early check-in with Alessandro, not only did he promptly agreed to my early check-in request, he also accommodated my late check-out due to a late night flight out of London.

Alessandro was really helpful, although he did not have to be there since Carol was helping me to the room, he made it down despite his busy schedule. He introduced me to the local neighborhood & also advised on cheap & good eats.

On the Room :
It was bright and clean! The sheets were fresh & spotless, I felt really at home. It was really comfortable! The room was sufficiently spacious for a party of two. There's a well equipped kitchen for all your cooking, baking, washing needs. I did quite a bit of cooking as eating out could be pretty expensive, plus my Asian diet. Alessandro also provides you with sufficient cereal, a loaf of bread, some milk and beer for your stay. Not to mention a bottle of wine to kick start the night. There's no television but who needs one?

The shared bathroom & toilet are very clean as well. Didn't had problems with the other guests sharing on the same level. I only saw them once, there's very much it. You're also provided with some quality towels & simple toiletry-just in case.

The building is well ventilated & doesn't smell funky. Or maybe because it's winter time .. haha .. It's also properly heated, so you wouldn't get chilly when it snows or rains.
Wi-fi internet connection is really speedy, & available throughout the building. In case you need to work. The neighborhood seems pretty safe. It was my first option as I was carrying quite a bagful of photography equipment, it worries me when I stay in hotels.

The apartment is a stone's throw away from Victoria station. Don't be fooled, Pimlico tube is so much further away. Along the way to Victoria station is packed with lots of good coffee places & restaurants. Alessandro will definitely introduce you to Pimlico Fresh, it's a really affordable deal with quality bites. There's also Pret-A-Manger down the road, so fast-healthy-food is pretty much covered.
There's also a Barclay's Cycle Hire lot a minute away from the building, it's a great way to explore the city if it isn't too cold to ride.

Important :
If you've read the other comments on this stay, you should pretty much know that the room is located on the top floor, about 4-5 flights of staircase. So if you have difficulties, do look for other listings Alessandro has. Otherwise, it's a good way to burn some holiday fats.
