Lets list the pro's first (there are a couple of cons too, but minor ones at that).
a) The terrace is a killer. An absolute humdinger - a place where you could just sit and watch the world go by. Especially at night when its cool. 400 sq feet of relaxation.
b) Craig is super responsive. He answers quickly and promptly. As a customer, that is very very reassuring.
c) When we checked in Craig was travelling but he had made arrangements with a friend of his who was at the apartment at the decided time and took care of all the nitty gritties. No complaints at all.
d) Theres a small supermarket not even 2 minutes walk from the building (All Seasons Food & Wine), on the ain road (Commercial Road) which is open 24 hrs. So you can get all your last minute stuff without any problems.
e) Westferry DLR station is a 5-7 minute walk. we used this one all the time and not the Limehouse station -- not for any reason, just started with this and then stuck to it.
f) Theres a pizza joint next to All Seasons (don't remember the name). Good stuff.
g) Theres also a Dominos on the opposite side of the street which is open till 2 A.M. Great for late night pizza cravings.
h) The apartment is very clean, neat and tidy. Be aware that Craig actually lives in this apartment so his cupboards contain his clothes etc. As such, you don't have place to hang your own clothes (if you're looking for that). This didn't bother us at all but just putting this here for the information of anyone who would like cupboard space.
Now, for the cons ... :-(
a) Amenities list says air conditioned. Actually there is an air circulation system in place, not an air cooling one. Dont mean to imply in any way that there is any mis-selling here : Maybe this kind of system is also included under the heading of "air conditioned", but it definitely was a bit of a downer
b) Blinds / curtains are needed on the full length glass windows between the hall and the terrace as it gets bright really early in the morning.
So, a humble suggestion to Craig - if the aircon issue cant be resolved, keep 3 / 4 pedestal fans and just install blinds on the windows. You have a killer flat - a place where one would want to come again and again.
