I was in London for a conference at ExCel. Stayed at Arun's for the duration of the conference and a day or two more to show colleagues around (total stay: 7 days). The flat is a 10-min walk to ExCel and about a hour's journey to Central London (but hassle-free). Staying in the flat was lovely - convenient and comfortable. Definitely recommended.
Summary of stay:
Location:
Not located in Central London, but in the London Borough of Newham. It's very well-connected by the DLR and Tube networks. (To me, it was ideal - not too close to London to get on one's nerves, but close enough to stay connected with the hustle-bustle.)
Setting:
Private residential area. Peaceful riverside location, close to the Thames Barrier.
Check-in and check-out:
Arun is accommodating of unusual check-in and check-out timings - just make sure you discuss it with him beforehand.
The space:
It is a duplex flat - Arun lives upstairs and guests in room below. The bedroom comfortably accommodates 2 adults. Has a well-equipped en-suite private bathroom. Guests also have access to the living room/lounge, kitchen and dining area.
Does the place look like the pictures?/Are all listed amenities present?:
Yes. Exactly like in the pictures, and better, if that's possible.
Price:
I stayed with a colleague, and for a week, so it worked out well.
Any problems encountered?:
Only minor ones that anyone would encounter in their own home (and that's why we choose Airbnb over a hotel, right?) - nothing to mar the experience of living here.
