the room was adequate but very plain, as was the whole flat. I would call this place student rooms. Gurkan is a wonderful host though, helpful and friendly and made me feel safe and welcome. The place is basic, no frills or decor. The flat is quiet except for traffic noises, and the bus stop is right outside or a 15 minute walk will take you to the Underground station at Canary Wharf to central London. Greenwich is a walking tunnel away, under the Thames, a real treat.
