Fabulous stay! I will definitely be back! The studio apartment was amazing, much nicer than a hotel and great for staying as a single parent with a child (my son and I shared the very comfortable double bed, but there is quiet enough room for your own travel cot for a younger child in my opinion). It was great for budgeting having a (high quality!) kitchen to prepare meals and packed lunches in with a proper small oven/micro and hob and fridge/freezer. Alessandro was very warm, helpful and welcoming to me and my 7 year old, even popping out to get us some fresh milk on arrival. I was very appreciative of the drinks and cereal and snacks stocked for us, and the guides and maps. Alessandro even showed me the local area on street view on his iPad and directed me to the local supermarket, transport links etc., anything that I wanted he was happy to explain and took the time to make us feel welcome, he is a great host. Also good communication before we arrived.

The studio is incredibly clean (better than any hotel I have every stayed or worked in!) and newly furnished, very chic little place in an excellent location within 10 minutes walking distance to Victoria coach and train stations, theatres (Victoria Apollo and Victoria Palace), restaurants, shops, and main attractions and just a little further (I’d say less than 15 min) walk to Buckingham Palace and Westminster. There was a bus stop right on the corner of road and the number 24 bus that takes you around the main sightseeing attractions/routes, so it was very easy to get out and about and any bus you could possibly need is a 5 minute walk away at main bus station by train station.

Despite being so close to the hustle and bustle and everything the street is actually very quiet and the area feels safe in the evening to walk about and the building feels secure. I would absolutely say it was much more comfortable than a hotel or hostel at a very affordable price! I very highly recommend this studio and Alessandro……and my son wants to come back and live there so he must recommend it too!
