About this property

Lovely spacious flat near Canary Wharf, O2 & ExCeL

=> Summary <=

A spacious 2 bed flat with an ensuite, in a quiet leafy residential development in Zone 2, next to Thames. The place is tastefully decorated, furnished & fitted with a new kitchen.

It has well-connected transport links from East India DLR station (3mins walk away) to O2 (2 train stops away), ExCeL (3 train stops away), Canary Wharf (10mins walk or 3 train stops away) & Westfield Stratford (15mins train ride). On-site, there's a playground, local grocery store & free parking just outside the flat.

=> The Space <=

The flat has been tastefully decorated and furnished as well as refitted with a kitchen and new washer/dryer. It has a wooden floor throughout with tiles in kitchen and bathrooms. It has an ensuite room with king size bed, a twin room, a family bathroom with shower and a spacious living room with a sofa bed that can sleep two adults. Rooms are recently fitted with black-out window blinds. It also has a baby cot, if you need it. The flat is airy and well-lit with a Juliet balcony and a large window in each of the bedrooms.

If car park is needed, it is possible for guest to obtain free parking permits to park on the premises.

=> Neightbourhood Overview <=

The flat is located in Virginia Quay development which is a leafy residential place just next to the Thames and an area reserves as a bird sanctuary. It has a 24 hour concierge service on-site, a children's playground and a small football / basketball court. There's also a local grocery shop (Nisa) that is opened 7 days a week!

The closest station is the East India DLR station which is just 3 minutes walk away. It has both lifts and escalators. It connects conveniently to the O2 (2 stops on the DLR) and ExCeL centre (1 stop on DLR and 1 stop on Jubilee line).

For the shoppers and diners, Canary Wharf is only 10-15 minutes walk or 2 stops away on the DLR, while Westfield Stratford shopping centre is about 15 minutes away by train. For the good ol' Oxford street, it is about 30 minutes away by train.

A scenic journey into central London (with minimal walking too) is by taking DLR into Royal Victoria, then take the Emirates cable car to O2 (North Greenwich). From O2, take the Thames clipper into central London while passing through sites like the Cutty Sark in Greenwich, Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, London Eye and Westminster.

=> Getting Around <=

If you are travelling by car, it is possible to obtain a parking permit for the duration of the stay. Please inform us prior to arrival if this is required.

East India DLR station is just 3 mins walk from the flat. The DLR service runs to Tower Gateway or Bank which connects to the London underground network via District/Circle Line or Central Line, respectively. The DLR also runs to Canning Town where the Jubilee Line connects to London Bridge, Westminster, Bond Street and towards Wembley.

The great thing about DLR is that it runs from 5.30am till 1am Mon-Sat and 7am till midnight on Sun and the trains are very frequent.

For those interested in cycling, there is a Bike hire station just outside East India DLR station which is 3 mins walk from the flat.

London City airport is only 9 minutes away via DLR (4 stops). Gatwick takes about an hour while Heathrow about 1.5 hours by train. For Stansted, you can take a coach from Stratford or by train and underground in around 1.5 hours.

=> Hygiene <=

We ensure all touch areas are wiped down especially so with high frequency areas such as knobs, handles, worktops, buttons and switches. We provide sanitising hand gel and antibacterial wipes in the property too. We have a 1 day gap between stays to ensure residual germs are diminished naturally. All linens and towels are washed at 60 degrees Celsius and above.

Just basic enough to get by
Overall the location is fine, decent host, nothing else to clamor about. Visited as family with two boys 10 and 16. Good stuff - Wi-Fi, shower (one of them), space and the two bathrooms / bedrooms was a bonus. (Big reason for renting this). Host was a good communicator. Can be a lot better - needs cleaner towels, needs pillow cases, cleaner curtains , beat up couch, broken night stand with ripped off siding (hazard! ) - do nothing fancy, it’s a get by place. My honest opinion was wow how did I get into this! May be totally different for someone else. Have definitely seen better offerings.

Extremely accurate description of the property!
We had an enjoyable weekend at this flat near Canary Wharf. Everything was exactly as described on the listing and the photos reflected the space and amenities. The host was in touch to confirm check-in process, ensure we settled in comfortably, answer our questions and prepare for our departure. Additional information was contained at the flat about things to do and where to eat in the area. the Nisa Extra provided us with snacks, beverages and light breakfast. The East India DLR made it easy to get around, albeit a bit further out than anticipated but still easy to get around and Ubers close at hand. Great place to stay!

issues
Our family of four stayed for two weeks in this apartment, and overall it served us well BUT there were some significant issues. 1) The flat is on the 4th floor and there is no working lift. according to the neighbours, the lift hadn't been working for 6 months and was probably going to take another 2 months to be fixed. The host emailed us about the broken lift only a few days before our trip - this should have been honestly disclosed in the listing. We could manage stairs but not everyone can... 2) Only one set of keys was provided which was very impractical - especially as whoever was home first had to walk down 4 flights of stairs to let in the others! The door intercom doesn't connect to the flat but goes to the landlord so we had to phone whoever was home to come down, too. 3) the bedroom curtains are very ineffective so the flat becomes light well before 5 am - making good sleep difficult. 4) the kitchen is missing basic utensils - just spending a little money could make it much more liveable and welcoming. A few other details would earn it a good rating. 5) In the ensuite, the basin tap drips which is wasteful and disturbs sleep. This would be a quick fix that is hopefully done very soon. 6) The loungeroom has sliding doors which allows great airflow. There is a balcony rail outside these doors for safety - you can't actually step onto a balcony. However, the proximity to a DLR station and local shop was good. There is no quick food nearby though for main meals.

About the host

Hosted by Tan

Host profile image
Both my wife and I are working professionals. We moved to London more than 10 years ago and have been loving it since. We love the culture, the food and the myriads of things to do in London. We used to travel a bit but that's before we have our two beautiful children. The places we love are like Iceland, Berlin, Hong Kong, Paris, Venice, Budapest and Spain. But now, it's usually the more kids-friendly type of travel :)

Why they chose this property

This flat is special to us as it is where we lived when we got married and have our little family. We got this place initially as it has superb transport connections to city centre and at the same time being a quiet residential place, a rare combination in London these days.

We do host our lovely flat and if you are planning to stay there, then we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. The location is superb in terms of access and convenience ;)

- Newly fitted kitchen (October 2016)
