Alex place is perfect for solo travellers or couples even since its a double bed. The neighbourhood is quiet and its near Manor house tube station. So, getting to the city centre would take a mere 15-20 mins. There are buses nearby to the city centre. Also, there are shops nearby for you to buy any groceries. His roommates Gabor and carlin were very friendly and recommended me some places to visit. Overall, the stay would be perfect :)
