    The only thing I missed was my coffee in the morning. The host kindly offered to make some if needed, but a little Nespresso machine in the room would be an excellent addition.

    Excellent location, nice quiet and safe neighborhood, comfortable room and bathroom, clean, great host

    Nothing really. Maybe a kettle to make a drink!

    The owner Shaz was so helpful and gave us useful tips and directions for finding our way around. The flat is located right near the river so we could jump on an Uber boat to take us into London and see the sights on the way!! Ideal location! Also we were able to park the car safely for free so that was a bonus!

    • Stayed 4 nights

    The bathroom is outside of the bedroom, so I had to be decent when I had to use it. But the owners do not use it, so it is private for me. The owners seem to fight a lot, so it could be a little noisy, this is something the owners should improve.

    It is good value for money in London. The location is really great, close to subway, bus, and boat, and you can get to the main attractions in a short time. The owners are friendly, they also live in the apartment but there were not many interactions with them (most communications are done via whatsapp), so good for introverted people.

    Transom Close is situated in a very good location, both central London and the O2 Arena (if travelling for a conference or concert). The hosts are extremely friendly and truly care about making the stay pleasant by, for example, helping with giving directions and pointing out good food places around. The room and private bathroom were nice, very modern and comfortable. A little chair to work at the desk would be great but everything else was great.

    Needs a fan for hot days Could do with a small TV but that's a minor

    I recently stayed at Transom Close, which is a great option for those looking for a friendly and affordable place to stay in London. The property is located in a decent area just off the Thames and opposite Canary Wharf. The hosts, Shaz and her partner, are a great couple and Shaz is a good laugh. Just don't upset the Landlord (a cute dog). The room was clean and comfortable, and the facilities were good. There was free Wi-Fi too. The property is also quiet, which was perfect for me as I was looking for a place to relax and unwind. Overall, I had a great stay at Transom Close. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly and affordable place to stay in London. Here are some specific details about my stay: - The location was great. It was just a short walk to the Thames River and Canary Wharf, and it was also close to public transportation. - The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom was also clean and had a shower/bath. - The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They were always happy to answer my questions and make recommendations for things to do in the area. The facilities were good. There was free Wi-Fi. I would definitely recommend Transom Close to anyone looking for a friendly and affordable place to stay in London. It is a great option for those who want to be close to the action but also want to be able to relax and enjoy some peace and quiet.

    Nothing negative, just something good to know. The flat is on the 3rd floor with no elevator and the private bathroom is outside the room.

    The place is nice, clean and comfortable. The host is friendly and available for easy arrangement of check-in and check-out. The place is very quiet and perfect to rest after a day out sightseeing.

    the only thing to consider and be aware of is the distance from the tube - about 1km. For me it was ok - yet for others it might be a bit tiering. still it is very reasonable distance for people who live in London..

    Very clean room and clean private bathroom - seems all newly built. Relaxing atmosphere in the room as host furnished it properly, practically and with neutral colours. The host allows optimal privacy and accommodated my needs respectfully. Felt completely safe. Keys and instructions were given at arrival without any issues. Nice residential area and host provided recommendations for near by places to see or dine at.

    The mattress is a bit hard for me. The room's cleanness could be improved. It was a bit noisy during half an hour around 1am as the host's partner came back.

    I booked the room at a promoted rate, so I'd say it is great value for money. The bathroom is very clean, but is not private. It is shared with the owner, I believe. The surrounding area is quiet and safe.
