Steven and his staff made us feel welcome and like a priority. They were very attentive to our needs and were quick to respond. He really values the satisfaction of his guests. The view by the river is amazing! We also felt very safe in and around the apartment.
Apartment Amenities
The home was lovely and it was such a plus that it had two bathrooms: one was a toilet and shower connected to the twin beds bedroom and the other was a toilet and shower/bath near the front door. Towels, hairdryer, toilet paper, outlet adapters, pots, dishes, salt, other food prep items, a large refrigerator, an induction stove, and a fan were a few of the many amenities we appreciated. We also used the washer in the apartment. It was different than our standard washer at home (USA) which washes in about 30-40 minutes. The one in this apartment took about two hours to wash so that’s something to keep in mind.
We also used a parking spot in the enclosed garage to park a large 8 seater van (it was a little tight but we got into the spot).
Transportation
The walk from the tube station (North Greenwich) was about 10 minutes to the apartment. We walked along the nice pedestrian and bike friendly path along the river from apartment to the tube. It took us about 90-110 minutes to travel between Heathrow airport and the apartment using the tube (it can be tiring). It took us about 30-40 minutes to get to the main sights in Central London. Leaving between 7:00-8:00 added more time to the tube because of the amount of people wanting to get on at that time.
The first time going to the apartment we took a cab and paid about 8 pounds. We walked after that as it was free and close enough.
Additionally, North Greenwich Pier is also located along the path to the tube. We enjoyed a couple of rides down the Thames River to tourist destinations on the Thames clipper boats.
For 6 people our travel time to the tourist attractions took longer but we found the quality and value of the home (with two bathrooms) to be worth the extra travel time.
There are several nice restaurants near the North Greenwich tube station and a Tesco express on the way to the apartment. We used the Tesco express very often and found that it had everything we needed.
All in all, would definitely recommend this place and host.
