This apartment is just wonderful! Although I had a bit of trouble getting into the building (the key fob to get me in wasn't working) Alessandro's assistant was quick to answer my call and met me at the apartment with a key that worked, and was apologetic throughout! The apartment itself is beautiful, clean, bright, and fully equipped with everything you need for your stay (towels, sheets, a hair dryer, small toiletries, kitchen utensils and appliances, etc). As a foreign traveler, it was especially helpful that there was a map of London and two outlet adapters waiting for me when I arrived. Alessandro even sent someone in halfway through my stay to clean the whole apartment, since I was there for over a week, which was a fantastic bonus. The apartment is in a great location- walking distance to Blackfriars station, City Thameslink, restaurants, supermarkets, and more. Also near St. Pauls Cathedral (you can hear the bells ring, which I thought was charming).
A few things to note: Even though the apartment is on a side street, there's quite a bit of noise pollution, especially early and late when the nearby restaurants are taking out the garbage, getting morning deliveries, etc. The wifi is a bit slow, but not unbearable. There were some snacks upon my arrival, including tea, coffee, a few snacks, and some cold drinks, but I don't know if I would consider it "breakfast included" as noted on the listing- maybe for one or two days, but not if you're there any longer than that. Again, definitely not a deal breaker, but good to know if you're planning.
Overall, I would 100% stay here again! I loved the apartment, and by the end of my stay it felt like home!
