Wapping - Tobacco Docks - Modern Flat

A home away from home experience

9.0

The location was perfect for us. It is about 10 minutes walk to Wapping Station and about 20 mins to Tower Hill.

− The pick up location was a decent walk with bags from the station. The shopkeepers were not helpful, requiring a code which we didn't have. They didn't have internet available so we could contact the host and we didn't have a phone. Luckily we had someone with us who did so they kindly phoned the host and got the code. Then another big walk to the apartment.

Value for lower budgets but might require some compromises.

The location is good: 3 minutes walk to bus no. 100 right beside Waitrose. The closest metro-station is 15 minutes walk. The area is silent. Host: very responsive and helpful. E.g. the towel-rail in the bath stopped working and he organized a replacement/fix in no time. Comfort: the kitchen is very well equipped (with amenities and salt, oil, etc.), needed only buy food into the fridge. Despite the description, there is a dryer: the washing machine also is a dryer. The beds are comfortable and the blankets are warm enough. Bed sizes are double (~140cm) and single (~120cm).

− Flat: it is on the 1st floor, no elevator. The walls are thin, so you will hear everything if you have a noisy neighbor. Unfortunately, the upstairs neighbor did a renovation of some sort each evening from 21:00 to 23:30. Comfort: there is no heating in the small bedroom and it could get very cold there. Cleanliness: in the living room, there are big stains on the sofa and all the chairs. Lots of dust everywhere. In the bathroom there is some mold, but nothing that a more thorough cleaning could not solve. As of April 2024, the flat should have a general renovation and a big cleaning.
