Pros:
The house is quite close to South Quay DLR and Canary wharf. This was particularly convenient for me because I have lived in South Quay before.
Cons:
- The room is extremely tiny. There’s not enough space to place the suitcase to open it or to walk around in the room. It’s a kids room with a lot of furniture crammed inside the room.
- The host expects the guests to be extremely quiet at all times. However, they are quite noisy themselves with shutting doors, talking loudly, even kids singing on microphone. You can hear noises through the walls.
- The host in general is not very friendly and warm. I found the messages from the host a bit stern and not very polite.
- Communication with the host can be a problem. I requested the host to leave my suitcase in the common area after the checkout for a couple of hours. However they didn’t interpret my message correctly and agreed. And eventually declined on the night before checkout.
-The host wasn’t comfortable me arriving late and with sound of opening the doors on a Friday night, for which I apologised. It’s inevitable to have some noise as I mentioned you can hear through walls. Host accepted my apology.
Over all it’s ok if you just need a bed, are ok with the restrictions and lack of proper communication and friendliness.
Please note this room is priced more than the other bigger bedroom.
