The apartment was as pictured (cleaned and cute) and the location was perfect. Its close to St Katherine Docks which has lots of restaurants and a Starbucks :). Its super close to a metro station so you can easily see other parts of London. The area seemed totally safe. The apartment was comfortable - both the bed and sofa fold out (used by my kids) were in good condition and comfortable. Where things were far from ideal- the bathroom smelt like an ashtray, we only had 2 clean towels for 4 people and we ran out of TP on the 2nd of 6 days we were there. Not sure what was happening with the bathroom but the smell of cigarettes never waned over the week we were there (we are non-smokers). It was obvious the apartment was not set up for our arrival - we only had 2 clean towels and ran out of TP on day 2. TP can be purchased but just would like a heads up that I would need to do that rather than running out unexpectedly. The host was traveling but very responsive to emails at all times.
