Reviews
A marvelous time at your house
'We had a marvelous time at your house, everything was as you said and we found the news cuttings on local events very handy. Thank you for helping to make our stay so enjoyable.' Mariam. November 2005.
'Everything was well laid out in the house and we found our way around London
Had a great vacation
Great apartment with even a greater location. Stones throw to the river, nearby pubs and 120 seconds from the tube @ lime house, two stops east of tower hill and London Tower. Third floor apartment with no noise from the streets, thus very restful nights sleep for all. Large full size refrigerator for beer and full sky sports package for easy watching of any sporting event. We (4 of us) had a wonderful time and would come back again! Well lit apartment complex with great security. Everyone was helpful with directions to grocery stores and pubs. The owner Christine was very nice, helpful in booking the unit, quick to respond to email questions and honest! Most of all there were no surprises.......the unit was 100 percent as advertised.....the pictures were real, and the unit is very clean......like living at home. Have at least one supper at The Grapes, and reserve a table on the second floor overlooking the river.....better food than Gordon Ramsey's The Narrows. Have a great vacation!!!

P.S. The owner Christine, the location and the price makes this a 5 star winner!
A marvellous sights of London
One week isn't enough to see all the marvellous sights of London. The apartment is very nice and we will warmly recommend it to our friends.
Spacious and give better value than a hotel
"We stayed here on a business trip - more space and better value than a hotel. It worked perfectly for us for visiting Excel. Great for the DLR (Limehouse) - just a couple of minutes away and very good service. Also just a 15 minute taxi ride from London City Airport. A bonus for us was a number of very good restaurants both on the doorstep and within a few minutes walk of the apartment. We recommend the Indian Restaurant (Veranda), the Italian Restaurant and just a 10 minute walk away, the excellent Gaucho Grill at Canary Wharf. Just noticed that a couple of the photographs of the apartment are slightly different to our experience (view from lounge & bathroom were different) but this didn't impact on our stay. Christine was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions.
Enjoyable stay in Londo
Hello Christine,
now we are back in Germany and I´d like to tell you, that we enjoyed our stay in London very much. One big reason was your lovely flat. We enjoyed to stay there. It is a nice place to live. Moreover the concierges are very friendly and helpful. So we want to say "Tank you very much!"
regards Michael
Very comfortable and relaxing apartment
Cupcakes waiting for me when I checked in.
Easy one block walk to the DLR (get an Oyster Card)!
There is a TESCO market nearby walk past the DLR station make a right, down on left.
Very comfortable and relaxing apartment. The front desk is very helpful.
I would easily stay there again.
Realize you are not in the middle of London, but feels like your going home at the end of the day. It was relaxing to stand on the porch at the end of the day watching kids playing soccer in the courtyard across the way.
Had a great time in London
We had a great time in this lovely flat in London. it was clean and well equipped. We were worried about walking from the station in the evenings and reading another review settled our minds. It was quite safe and although we did encounter a crowd of youngsters one evening they were not a problem. There was a deli supermarket on the ground floor of the block which sold lovely fresh baguettes. There was also a very nice Italian restaurant in the opposite corner. This was very nice and worh a visit if returning home before eating in London. There was also a Tesco Express supermarket at the traffic lioghts at the top of the road. This was a short enough walk to carry several bags. Travelling around was easy - we bought daily travel cards at £5.60 each (£1 for under 16's) and this met all of our travel needs. You could see the station from the apparment window. We booked a flat rather than a hotel to give us the appropriate space as our children are now young teenagers. We all found it suited our needs as we could sit as a family in the evening if we were back early or have a longer lie if we had been out late. The booking process was very easy and our deposit returned within 10 days of returning home. In summary we would all recommend this flat to anyone wanting a comfortable, clean base to explore London and for our needs this was much more suitable than a hotel.
A comfortable and perfect place to stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable and perfectly located. The Limehouse train station was just 2 short blocks away and provided easy access to anywhere in London. The cafe and restaurants located within the property also provided convenience and a great option for dining in or out. The neighborhood was very safe; we walked down to the river and local pubs a couple times and never had a problem. Finding a great place to stay can be challenging when you are visiting another country, but we found this apartment perfectly fit all our needs and Christine was very pleasant to work with! You have my 100% recommendation!
A lovely apartment with absolutely everything we needed
We had a wonderful and very comfortable fortnight in this lovely apartment with absolutely everything we needed and great transport links to get to all the main attractions. We'd recommend it to anyone!
