Matt's place is wonderfully and thoughtfully done. The pictures really do not do justice to the place. Its way better than what it appears. We had a great time staying there!
Matt's place is about 5 minutes walk from Canning Town tube station (on Jubilee Line) and I have to say his apartment has all the modern amenities. Matt is a great host and goes out of his way to make his guests comfortable. Jubilee Line tube takes one straight into central London and connects to some great tourist spots. So that's very helpful. Besides the DLR is also right above, which takes one to Greenwich and other places. The Emirates Sky Line is also close by.
One small correction i would like to add. We had booked the place to attend an exhibition at the ExCel London, which although is close by, but not really a 5 minutes walk from Matt's apartment. It is a 5 minute drive and is rather a 20 minutes walk from the place.
Overall, we had a wonderful time staying at Matt's apartment and would highly recommend his place.
