    Everything was so perfect! Room was nice clean and the shared bathroom as well and the place is well accessible to the city center. Elain is so kind and helpful and Daisy is the nicest dog :-). I also recommend the cafe in the park near the house.

    Altougth the room was very tiny, it was very cozy and equipped with everything we needed. Perfectly clean as well as spacious bathroom where you could got all amenities you needed. Elaine was a very good host who gave us valuable advice and we really felt like at home coz of her care. Reasonable walking distance to DLR and buses as well as Lidl and Tesco and other shopping places and restaurants.

    Home away from home couldn’t be more true for this gem, Elaine and Colin (and Daisy!) were so friendly and welcoming and thought of everything to ensure a comfortable stay. I really felt for all the unexpected extras that were included (snacks, coffee machine, essential toiletries) as well as the quiet but so well connected location and most comfortable bed (best sleep), it was miles ahead of a hotel stay. Value for money was exceptional and an added bonus was the bus routes to central/ West End/ Bethnal Green areas were regular and saved a lot of money on tube travel. Absolutely no doubt, this is a home away from home in London- can’t wait to visit again!

    Nothing bad to say about it

    Everything was perfect, we were very well received. The entire house was very clean and organized. The location was great with 3 different tube/dlr stations at walking distance. Elaine, the owner, was very charismatic and didn't let us miss anything and, on top of that, she helped us with the directions, showing us the best way to get to turist spots in the easiest way possible! She tidied up our room every day and restocked coffee, tea and snacks ☺️ We will definitely stay again. We highly recommend it! We leave this review as our sincere thanks.

    I liked everything.

    I liked how nice and helpful Elaine was. She provided a lot of information about the transport, about what to visit. It really helped us save time and money. She welcomed us with drinks and we could also have breakfast in her kitchen. We enjoyed talking and getting to know each other. We also had tea, coffee, drinks, coffee machine and a water heater in the room, fridge with drinks, biscuits and plenty of toilet things, even tooth paste. The house is in a calm place, near the park with a view to a beautiful old church turned into a flat building.

    During my return visit, Elaine's warm welcome and her thoughtfulness in remembering my preferences continued to make this place stand out. The room remained as inviting as ever, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Their ongoing attention to amenities added a personal touch that enhanced the overall experience. The house's impeccable cleanliness still shone, and its location beside Canary Wharf was even more convenient as a returning visitor. Elaine's guidance remained a valuable asset, making navigation a breeze. I'm absolutely coming back, this house continues to impress in every way!

    nothing complain about

    First of all, I want to note the hospitality of the hostess Elaine. All 10 days we felt at home. We had a well-equipped kitchen, coffee machine, dishwasher and washing machine at our disposal. The room we lived in was very cozy, a comfortable bed and a warm duvet and big wardrobe. A large bath in which we had shampoos, shower gels and everything we needed. The house is located in a very quiet place, we had a great night's sleep. The house is kept constantly clean. Elaine also gave us good recommendations on what to visit. In general, thanks to the hostess we were even sadder to leave London.

    Was just like being home away from home and perfect for what I needed. The host goes the extra mile to make you feel at home and sometimes it’s the little extra touches that makes the difference. Very highly recommended and would be my go to accommodation in London. Thankyou for an amazing stay!!

    My stay at this house was a dream! The room was incredibly cozy and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud. Thoughtful touches like bathrobes, towels, and refreshments made me feel pampered. They even provided handy extras like make-up remover and cotton buds, which showed their attention to detail. The house was stylish and impeccably clean. Being beside Canary Wharf was a fantastic experience. So many dining and shopping options nearby. Elaine’s warm hospitality added a personal touch to my trip. Plus, the convenience of great transportation options made getting around a breeze.

    Nothing to say

    My stay in the property was unbelievable, so comfortable,the house is spotless,conveniently located in the middle of a beautiful park and 5 mins from DLR station, 15 minutes from Canary Wharf tube station. The hostess Elaine was so helpful and her knowledge of London was unreal like a personal tour guide would 100 percent recommend it. I will never stay anywhere else when I am in london that's for sure. Thank you so much.

    1. We felt the room was a tad small for two travellers to stay at the same time. Some additional luggage space would help. Travellers to book the larger room if you're travelling as a couple. 2. The bed has soft mattresses. We're used to sleeping on hard beds so travellers to assess this aspect too. But otherwise a great place. Above is just a feedback.

    Elaine is truly a magnificent host. We had to leave our luggage very early in the morning as we're travelling to Warner bros studios and she obliged to help us. In addition, her hospitality of checking our travel plans, helping with the kitchen, laundry etc were truly homely. There were no problems with bathroom, that was very spacious. The location is excellent with walking access to bus stop that'll take you to the tube station.
