This apartment is not in Canary Wharf! We booked this flat as a temporary stay while finding a flat to rent on our move to the UK so we were after good transport links, a safe area and internet so that we could work and browse for properties.
Unfortunately this flat is in Poplar, a less than desirable area in Tower Hamlets Burrough and the walk to the buses is through council housing.
The DLR is more than ten mins walk in the summer, it will be terrible in the rain.
The apartment itself is very well kitted and caters nicely for four people. Kitchen is well kitted and the internet when it works was fast.
We were in the flat with out three year old and didn't feel particularly safe at night in the area so we stayed indoors.
To top off the stay we lost the flat keys on our final night in the flat at a store quite far away and this trend out to be quite a lot of drama for our host Alessio - no amount of apologies or attempts to cut more keys would suffice.
To top it off he also accused us of damaging a sleeper couch which we noticed was poorly assembled on our acceptance of the flat.
The internet was also down for four days during our stay making our search for a new home even more difficult. Our host was on holiday and instead of calling his provider to give us feedback decided to only deal with it on his return from holiday. To be fair he did arrive that evening with a wifi router but we had lost almost an entire working week of access by that time.
Overall a good flat in a not so great area for a family. This would suit a couple better who don't mind a long walk to the DLR or can use the Barclays Bicycles right outside the apartment block.
