The host, Kamal, is really great, as is his assistant, Hussain. I had flight arrival and phone connectivity confusion, and both of them were very kind, patient, and accommodating -- and they truly went the extra mile to assist and coordinate with me. I had good chats with both of them, and communication at all stages of the booking was excellent.

I recommend this flat/room as a single, independent traveler. The room was clean, cozy, with a nice big window. It's no-frills, but all you need. I found the bed to be really comfortable. And it's a plus that there's an extra downstairs toilet, in addition to the shared bathroom.

The flat really is in a great location, being convenient to access all transportation connections via the DLR to Bank and Central London. You can walk down to Wapping, where there are several good pubs, and along the river to Tower Bridge and beyond. Perfect spot for getting to all East End destinations. Coming home late in the neighborhood was no problem.

Many thanks to Kamal! The flat is definitely on my list for future London trips!
