The room was nicer than described. The flat is a true 2 minutes walk from the Docklands Light Railway station, one of the gems of London Transport. You have access to that whole network easily through the DLR. The room was clean and neat to a fault, and there was a fruit basket, underground maps, pen and paper all waiting on the desk in the room. Richard was kind, friendly and a true gentleman. He offered us all the home's facilities (kitchen, sitting room, etc.) I could not imagine a better host, and the experience put many fine hotels to shame. It really was being welcomed to someone's home in the nicest way. If one needs to be near London City Airport or anywhere near this side of London, I could not think of a better place at any price, which was very reasonable in any case.
