I give this a 5 stars for the location, the host, and the value. You can walk everywhere near the Tower Bridge from this place and stroll down the river walk. The best part about this stay was Luigia who was super friendly and gave a lot of great local advice. You should listen to her and she will not steer you wrong. Her apartment was clean and everything you needed. The only thing that would I make you aware is that there is 4 flights of stairs and no lift (elevator). The stairwell is not so clean either it may be a turn off at first sight but her place will make you forget about it. Other than the Tower Bridge area, there are plenty of markets, restaurants, and a lot of breweries within walking distance which will definitely let you experience local culture.
