From the moment we first saw the listing and asked questions of Aleksander, we knew that our stay would be special. The listing is just as described and so much more. The reviews speak for themselves, but let me add that Aleksander has truly found his calling in hosting guests in his home. We felt so welcome from before we arrived to even after we departed. This was the first stop on a multi-country journey for our family of 4, including myself, my husband, our 10 year old daughter and 6 year old son. I wanted a nice place where we could rest and relax, as well as prepare food for our kids so we could avoid restaurants. Aleksander provided a comfortable house, with amazing beds and a kitchen that is better stocked than my own home! We didn't need to search for much, and let me add, the coffee, jams, cheese, etc were part of the hi-point of the trip. Even after visiting several locations on our trip, we all feel as though the "London" house was the best part of our vacation.

I can't thank Aleksander enough for opening his home to us. He is such a wonderful soul, we feel so fortunate to have met him. The house is comfortable, warm, welcoming and in a great location. We walked every day we were there, either to the bus stop, the tube station or to the restaurants he recommends. There are several grocery markets near by and we really enjoyed the street market just up the road too.

Aleksander met us at the street level, helped with our luggage, showed us around the home, explained how everything worked, where things were located, provided us with a local mobile that was REALLY handing with routing our way around town, and made our trip so amazing with his hospitality. I can ramble on and on about how great it was, but I can't stress it enough! We really really feel fortunate that we had the fabulous luck of finding this flat! (And to find someone with a love of San Francisco and traveling that rivals our own!)

My kids say it was the best part of their entire trip!
