Our stay was cozy with a great view of London! Though small (standard for London) but enough space for 2 people. It was very clean and thoughtfully equipped. The location is great. 5 mins to the underground and buses. Located in a safe area and secure building. There is a restaurant next door which is very convenient.

The landlord was very helpful and understanding. He gave us detailed instructions on how to use various appliances and was always there if we needed him. The room was very clean with everything one would need - large flat screen TV, iron, blow dryer, the scales to weigh the luggage, power adaptera for European plug ins, microwave oven, fridge, toaster, kettle and more. We had plenty of room to store our clothes, big drawers and a closet. Everything was clearly explained. It was very affordable to rent this room and was within a 5 minute walk from tourist sites such as the Tower or the Tower Bridge.
