Farjana's place is centrally located, within minutes from the London Eye. The apartment is clean and comfortable. The furnishings could be updated, however, the host made a lot of effort to accommodate and address my concerns. He was very responsive and replied to my attempts of contact within an hour. There were a few concerns that I think first time visitors should be aware of: 1. The entrance to the building requires a security code which the host will provide. However, the entrance light is sensor driven and has a delay. Initially that was a concern for me as when returning late at night, it's very dark in the hallway. 2. The lift was out of service one morning and we had to use the emergency stair case. The stairwell was poorly lit and there were furnishings stored in the hallways which also posed a safety concern. In fact, due to poor lighting, I fell going down the stairs. Ironically, the lift was returned to service once I got to the ground floor. Seems like someone put it out of service for a short period of time. However, we stayed for a week and only experienced this one time. 3. There is a Waitrose grocery store 2 blocks away. This is more like a convenience store, not a full supermarket. However, this is not something the host could do anything about.
Overall, my family and I had a good experience staying at Farjana's place. There are 2 train stations within a 3 block radius, several buses, and restaurants close by. I recommend Nando's as a good place at a reasonable price for meals.
