Perfect Family Base to Tour London

Med Crazy London
Review Submitted: September 25, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
With 3 young kids, I was really worried about getting an ideal place for a London holiday. This was perfect. Located in a serene development with easy access to the DLR and the local grocery store, I couldnt ask for more. All conveniences were available and the owners/managers were always on hand to help.

One drag though, no internet was available. This would make it a perfect place especially for working guests.

highly recommended if you want to enjoy london but also get your peace ad quiet like at home.
Owner's Response: As these guests say this is a great apartment for a family who wish to visit London as tourists. Super value for money.

WIFI is planned in the future as we have it at our other apartments (however - this does put the price up)

The View From the Bridge - as good as the play...

TommyW London
Review Submitted: June 18, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Set amongst the idyllic new but homely Royal docks development you could not really ask for more when it comes to providing a relaxed, comfortable but lively set of surroundings.

The flat itself was lovely, good size with two bedrooms, bathroom, living room and kitchen, could easily fit four in, plus an amzing, huge balcony about the same size as the flat overlooking the Victoria dock. First floor but there is a lift right by the door for ease of access.

The local area is full of like-minded family crowds, mostly other holiday makers or those that work in the city or in Canary Wharf and looking for a comfortable surrounding to live in. The DLR stop is less than ten minutes walk away, and can get you to Canary Wharf in 10 mins, Greenwich in 15 mins and then Bank station in 25 mins, or the other way, City airport in 5 mins.

A local shop sits next to a local bar/restaurant by the dock, less then 2 minutes walk away, with a scattering of other shops and bars/restaurant around the dock.

The best bit of all though is the absolutely fantastic panaramic view of London from the bridge that crosses the dock. Worth visiting just for that!
Owner's Response: Come to Docklands and see the view from the bridge over Royal Victoria and Albert for yourselves.
