Daniele and Antonello’s place is home away from home. Quiet, clean and comfortable with all amenities including a real Italian espresso machine for a delicious cup of coffee in the morning !
The small town of Plumstead is cosy and quiet, and there are a lot of parks and green areas in the surrounding hills with beautiful views towards the London skyline and river Thames. A short walk to Plumstead Commons, and one can find many shops, snack bars, convenience stores, pubs and restaurants as well as a gas station and Co-op supermarket that is open daily until late.
Transportation is very convenient and reliable, with many bus connections to Woolwich centre, Plumstead Train Station, Greenwich, Blackheath and Orpington. Just around the corner is the nearest bus stop where one can take the bus nr 51 or 53 and go directly to Woolwich centre and Royal Arsenal Riverside, the redevelopment of the former Royal military barracks which soon will be connected by the Elisabeth line that will shuttle passengers to central London within 20 mins. There’s also a pier where the “MBNA Thames Clippers” offers river bus services for a wide range of routes and piers along the river Thames using your Oyster card.
The accommodation is great value for money and the Italian hosts Antonello and Daniele make you feel at home with warm Italian hospitality.
It has been one of my best stays on Airbnb and is highly recommended !
