Ali is a great host and his place was exactly as described. The next door neighbor, Tracy, is also very nice and helpful if you have any questions or issues. House comes with most essentials and is in a quiet area. My family of 6 stayed here and spread out to 3 of the 4 rooms. You can easily fit more in this place though and would recommend it to others.
For those traveling to the heart of London, we primarily used the DLR station, which is a 15-20 min walk from the house (much quicker as Ali mentions using the bus); and the DLR from Woolwich to Bank (near St. Pauls) is about 35 minutes.
