We had a great time in Ali's flat. It is perfectly located next to Hyde Park and Lancaster Gate underground station. The weather was quite hot for end of May/beginning of June in Englad, but the flat was not too hot. In fact, it is probably a great place to stay in the summertime, as the downstairs bedrooms will remain quite cold.
The flat has all the necessary equipment now, but lacks a bit of charm. The beds or mattresses in the bedrooms could be changed, but they will probably do for kids or people who do not already have a backache.
Ali seems to be reactive through Airbnb, but since we had a Wifi problem, we used the phone number he provided to send him a message and did not hear from him until we used Airbnb (which was slightly annoying since I do not use the App, but my computer to access it and the Wifi was not working). It is possible that the phone number he provided was an old phone number and, if this is the case, he probably will have changed that.
Overall we would still recommend Ali's flat, because of its great value and great location.
