The location was perfect. SO close to a huge grocery store, Tesco! (like a super target) Host provided bags to use. Nice be able to cook and run to the store when needed. We had plenty of hot water for the four of us.
It was fun being so close to the water. We took evening walks down to the Thames. It was nice to be able to take a short walk to the water and read a book on a bench after a long day of sight seeing. We feed the ducks a couple of times. Public transportation was super easy, we took overground to underground to wherever we wanted to go for the day....
Place was very clean with wood floors. It was hot a few days we were there because of the heat wave. I suggested Maral get a couple of box fans for future summer visitors. It cooled off in the evening but was quite hot when we first returned home for the day because the flat was closed up.
There is an excellent cheap fish and chip place close by. We got take out twice from them. (Express fish bar) We felt safe to explore the area.
I don't think I would stay here if I had really small kids because of the stairs but it was perfect for a couple and two teenage boys. The washer enabled us to pack light. We did two loads while visiting. Super easy. I brought and used a sleeping mask because the upper room gets very bright in the morning. Again great location and very clean!!
