Create location central to train station, shopping, grocery stores and places to eat. Also close to Stratford where the Olympic park is. Cons 2nd floor flat which can get very hot With only one fan provided even though we asked in advancefor an additional one. Weekends tend to be noisy outside - with so many pubs in the area. If you are a light sleeper then this would not be the place for you on weekends and holidays. Furniture is not very comfortable except for in the kitchen - beds and sofas in particular. If you need to check in early you will also be charged a fee to do so - which was inconvenient not knowing this upfront when flights from US arrive really morning and check in is at 3pm. Last day all this may have been a special case because the host was out of the country the check in and check out process were not communicated clearly and timely before our rival and departure. Overall we were a family of 5 that really benefited from the location. However the communication and the actual flat itself we were disappointed with responses from the host and the furniture especially when we had any serious issues or concerns after the 1st day arrival.
