It was a pleasure staying with Zhaoyan and I was made to feel very welcome during my 10-day stay.

The apartment block is newly built – and in fact construction in other parts of the building had yet to be completed - although I did not experience any disturbance by the ongoing works.

The room itself was spacious and comfortable, with lots of natural light, and modern en-suite bathroom with shower. There is also a large wardrobe and chest of drawers.

Zhaoyan had only recently moved into the flat and so the broadband connection had not yet been installed and wif-fi was not actually available. In addition, there was very little cutlery, crockery and kitchen utensils.

The apartment is 2 minutes walk from All Saints DLR station and conveniently located for access to Canary Wharf and Stratford. There is also a Co-operative store nearby.
