What a wonderful time we had here! Carolyn was a fun, responsive host, and the packet of information she sent in advance was very useful. This flat was a lovely home base for us during our week in London. The weather during our stay was great, so we particularly enjoyed the patio/garden. That was our favorite amenity: the private outdoor space. It was a relaxing, pretty place to begin and end our busy days.

The flat itself is cozy, attractive, very clean, and well represented by the photos here. Both bedrooms are quite comfortable, the bathroom is nice, and the kitchen well furnished. The neighborhood may look slightly dodgy at first, but it proved to be very quiet, and we never felt uncomfortable during our many walks in the area.

Thanks to Carolyn's notes and advice, we were able to get our bearings in the neighborhood quickly, and we easily found our way to the nearest DLR and Tube stops. It was great being so close to Tower Bridge and the Tower of London! On Carolyn’s recommendation, we had a fantastic meal at Lahore Kebab House, and the Captain Kidd is a gorgeous riverside place to enjoy a pint (skip the food, though). Other favorite places we found within easy walking distance were The Empress restaurant on Leman street (amazing Indian food!) and The Minories pub, near the Tower Hill station, which we made our “local.” We had the BEST full English breakfast there (highly recommended!), and some excellent cask ales.

We became very fond of this flat during our stay and would happily return. We recommend it!
