This is a great flat in a really great location! This flat is bigger than the photos make it look. Also, there are at least two windows that you can open, plus the balcony doors. You walk up two flights to get to the flat, and there's a balcony where you can go outside. Now, the little bed has been put in the bedroom, so there is more space in the living-dining room. There is a nice-sized refrigerator-freezer, oven, stove, and microwave to use. There are ample dishes, glasses, cooking pots and pans, and cooking utensils. Upon arrival, look closely at what you have and if there's anything reasonable that you don't have there, Shriful will get it for you. For example, for us, we needed extra drinking glasses and a sharp knife, and he brought them for us the very next day. He will provide bath towels for you, and the shower is nice and modern. This flat is located on Commercial Road, sometimes called New Road. It's historic: If you go to the Museum of London Docklands (Bus 135 or D3 or DLR (Docklands Light Railway) from Shadwell to Canary Wharf), and you look closely at the exhibits there, you will find the original plans to build this Commercial Road. Here, your nearest bus stop (15,115,135, N15, N550) is right outside your flat or across the street and to your left, and a bus stop for D3 is around the corner. Trains come in to Shadwell station, where you'll take the driverless Docklands Light Railway (DLR). Aldgate East is your closest tube stop, and Whitechapel is also not far. WALKING DISTANCE: Out of the flat, to your right and down the street is Tesco Express and Iceland (great frozen foods and other groceries), and Watney Market (fresh fruit and veg at good prices, open until 6 pm). According to East London History, "Watney Market was once one of the East End’s biggest and most popular street markets. The 1902 Post Office Directory lists a thriving market, with more than 100 shops including such departed gems as drapers, bootmakers, butchers, a cheesemonger and milliner, with hundreds more street pitches." http://eastlondonhistory.com/2010/11/18/watney-market/ There's an Idea Store (public library) next to Watney Market, and a bigger one nearer to the Whitechapel tube stop. You're in the middle of the London wholesale garment district. If you've ever wanted to buy sets of six items of children's clothes in various sizes, or over 250 GBP worth of shoes, or other clothing items, you will enjoy shopping here. For a retail shopping experience with budget prices, head to the stores in Watney market - great prices on shoes, luggage, and even those great big plaid plastic bags with zippers, we call them "China bags." The kids had a lot of fun choosing hair accessories, jewelry, and spinners (2 GBP each) from a dealer with tables in Watney market. If you don't have time to cook, there are LOTS of restaurants up and down the street...
