I stayed for 2 months so think in a good position to write a review
Pros
- Very close to City airport - 23min from plane to door
- Have Sainsbury’s nearby
- Quick access to jubilee - so very good access to the south side: including O2 / borough market / London bridge / Waterloo all the way up to the west end via green park. And DLR to the City
- pretty bright inside coz on 5/f so overlooking neighbor’s roof
Cons
- a few appliances not working but not major concern - host will communicate upfront
- water heating - it’s a tank heater so need to check and make sure there is hot water before heading for a bath. I get scorchingly hot water 75pc of the time but the rest of the time it is lukewarm which could be frustrating given the months I’m staying in. Heater definitely connected to some sort of timer which controls electricity supply so generally have hot water at off peak hours but need ample time to manually kickstart the boiler at other times (usually at nighttime)
