Comments from Owner Guestbook

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.

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!

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!

My husband and I and our 2 twentyish sons stayed here for 8 days in May, 2009. We found the apartment to be clean, well-stocked and very convenient to transportation. The DLR station is a block away and we could see the station from our balcony. The DLR gives access to the tube and all of London.

It was so nice to come "home" to after a long day of site-seeing and be able to relax, watch tv, cook if we wanted. The washer-dryer allowed us to pack light and only take carry-ons. I don't think four adults traveling together (whether family of friends) could find a more affordable living arrangement than this by half. The beds were comfortable and with 2 bathrooms, there was never a line! The building is locked 24 hours a day and the concierge was always on duty to answer questions.

There are several nice restaurants close by (we enjoyed Gordon Ramsey's "The Narrow" and "Figa"), and at least 2 convenience stores within a block for anything you need.

Christine, the owner, was easy to communicate with and replied quickly to any questions we had. She stocked the apartment with lots of maps, brochures, and information about London. We wouldn't hesitate to use this apartment again if we are lucky enough to be able to return to London.

Limehouse is great access point to river and canal walks and to the more congested City of London. Flat is well described by the owner and well appointed (the pans, knives, towels, etc. that you would expect and think to use), and very clean. Docklands light railway (part of the Tube, Greenwich is a very quick ride away) and busy streets that take you into the heart of the city virtually in sight, but the flat and the street it is on are very quiet. I recommend walking to the Prospect of Whitby not far away, although there are fancier pubs and restaurants closer. I watched the London Marathon from the balcony. I have lived and stayed in many parts of London -- the City, Mile End, Kilburn, West Hampstead, Kensington, Chelsea, Balham, Bayswater -- and I recommend this flat most highly.

Have just returned from a fantastic vacation in London. The apartment was lovely clean and well maintained.The location great.Very helpful staff on the front desk. Christine was also very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for her. We managed to see three shows. I recommend the half price ticket booth in Leicester Square! Here are my recommendations for a great vacation
Buy an Oyster card. Use the DLR and number 15 bus across the road.Don't open the oven door. Make sure you have some good walking shoes. Eat at La Figa restaurant in the piazza as often as possible. Stay at no 39 Ionian.
