Alessandro's flat is very well located, in a quiet and lovely neighbourhood, close to many bars, restaurants, market and metro stations (Victoria line). You can reach the main tourist attractions with only one metro line change and in less than 30 min. You are going to spend less than 10 min walking to reach the metro and a big market (Sainsbury's). To access the flat you need to go up two floors by stairs with small and steep steps. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare a meal or to eat ready meal. The set includes wine opener and glasses for wine and sparkling wine. He offered some snacks, beer, milk and a bottle of wine as a welcome gift. Everything is well explained in details by Alessandro as well as in a guide you can find in the flat. He has a support team that reply your requests very quickly. In case you may be wondering about the shared bathroom: there are two toilets, one contiguous to the room and another with the shower. They are so close to the room that one might almost forget it is shared, thus it's absolutely OK. In addition, they are cleaned every morning by Alessandro's crew.
The shower is the only negative point we can say about the lodging. It's too small, difficult to move inside, even for a small person. The double bed seems a bit smaller than the standard, so it can be uncomfortable for two big persons. In case you are lucky enough to get a hot weather in London, a fan is available to be used.
There is a fire alarm system in the flat, quite sensitive, so be aware when cooking something that can produce smoke.
Overall this flat is a very good choice for your stay in London alone or with another person. We recommend it.
