Where to start! Our stay at Alessandro's flat made London a fabulous experience. Although we never met our host, communication was prompt and easy. We found the flat with no trouble - throughout the week we often remarked on how perfect the location was. Not a touristy part of town at all but very quintessentially London. My husband and I loved grabbing coffee and porridge in the morning at Pimlico Fresh and had fantastic fish and chips at a shop across the way. Easy 10 min walk to the tube (we highly recommend the Oyster card! Super simple to load and use)

The flat had many great amenities. I appreciated the electric outlet converter, hairdryer, and breakfast foods Alessandro provided. The welcome bottle of wine was greatly enjoyed too.

My favorite part about Alessandro's flat was easily the two massive windows. Oh gosh, we loved leaving them wide open and taking in the London street life as we'd drink wine in the evenings. Waking up to that sunshine every morning was delightful. The bed was small but comfortable. Sharing the two bathroom units directly outside our room was a little inconvenient but we only saw our neighbors once during the week we stayed in London.

All in all, we felt so welcome and at home in Alessandro's flat. It was a 5 star AirBnB experience.
