Maria is a friendly host. Her place is as advertised. All amenities listed functioned well. East India DLR is within 5 minutes walking distance and well connected by buses.
Only 2 problems we had with the place:
1. Heating is on a timer and at times it can be cold ( we visited in Winter).
2. The place could sometimes be noisy. It is located next to the main road so we could hear traffic at all hours. In addition, the water pipes in the wall of the room made a noisy clanking sound every time someone opened the pipe in the bathroom.
Apart from that we enjoyed our stay at Maria’s flat.
