+ Shakeem is a very friendly host
+ the flat is very close to 2 DLR stations and a good supermarket
+ the neighbours are nice and quiet
+ the price is very hard to beat
- the flat is right next to 10 lanes of all day and all night traffic
- we couldn't fully close the windows or open them for ventilation. Shakeem arranged for some additional sealing, but the noise was still quite dominant
- the dishwasher didn't work
- the flat gets very hot in hot weather (and you can't open the windows), at least you can open the door the the small balcony
