What you see in the pictures is what you get – but there is much more to it!
A hidden gem for the urban explorer, the former workshop was beautifully converted into a stylish, comfortable apartment and a well-suited place to relax after a day exploring the city.
Be warned, though: the tastefully decorated home - with its natural light and potted plants, several mood lights and an essential oil diffuser - makes you not want to actually leave this cozy place… but that’s a good thing! Wi-Fi works well too.
We had the pleasure to meet the hostess in person during (the easy) check-in and check-out. Communicative, helpful, flexible, generous and VERY thoughtful, Rosie easily earned a 5-star+ review from each of us.
We were very comfortable in the 2-bedroom apartment (a couple and a 15 year-old daughter staying for 5 nights), but it can easily accommodate up to 4 people since there are 2 double beds. I especially appreciated the firm mattress and high quality pillows, which were a real treat to my back! Good shower.
The kitchen has all you need to prepare meals and there are several grocery stores within walking distance, including a Waitrose. There also many restaurants and cafes around the area worth trying (check out “Job Centre” on Deptford High Street near the train station for craft beers, tasty bar food and DJs). The hostess also prepared a printed guide with her favorite cafes and restaurants, which is very helpful.
We enjoyed exploring the nearby area (Greenwich Market has Brazilian churros that are to die for!), walking to Greenwich Park, Cutty Sark (one of the last tea clippers to be built) and crossing the Greenwich Foot Tunnel on foot under the River Thames.
Great links to the city are close by; we used Deptford train station, which is just a few blocks walk away and DLR a short walk.
Big thank you to you, Rosie, for all you did to make our stay absolutely great!
