the apt is in a great location near tower hill and the thames with a well-stocked grocery store right across the street (food, booze, and other essentials). it has a lovely view out over the marina with the top of tower bridge and the shard in the background. the apt is nicely set up with modern touches in the bathroom (rain shower) and kitchen (touch control range). the couch folded out easily to form a fairly comfortable queen-sized bed, which allows the apt to fit two couples (or one couple and a third wheel in our scenario).
the toaster, coffee machine, and range were all nice and easy to use. did struggle a bit with the clothes washer/dryer... it’s a combo unit so it’s a little trickier to find the right setting. but it was a great amenity to have since it allowed us to pack lightly and just refresh halfway through our trip.
we were well informed by the host and his proxy, david, so had no trouble with check-in or check-out. the place was clean, comfortable, and close to a lot of great spots for tourism (tower of london, tower bridge) or hedonism (sky pod bar, savage gardens, sushisamba). not too far of a walk to borough market, which i highly recommend!
overall, a pleasant stay that i would recommend to my friends and family!
