In summary, an absolutely recommendable accommodation in London City, very close to the Tube. There is a Tesco supermarket about 30 m around the corner, which is absolutely adequately equipped to supply yourself in the apartment. The apartment itself was very spacious for London standards, very clean, the interaction with the landlord was very friendly and unproblematic, and if you had any questions you were helped quickly. The feeling of security was also very good, the apartment complex was secured in many ways. We will be happy to come back on our next visit to London. There is only one star deducted from the service because there is not a person constantly present in the reception area, but this was not a problem for us.

Overlooked this review so it's delayed by 6 months. Stayed here for 4 nights in March 2024 and these small self contained flats with kitchen are clean and practical. We were late for a meeting and returned to find the dishes had been done for us. Portuguese fellow in the lobby is welcoming and just lets you get on with it after he hands over the keys. Location is walking distance to the east end, city, and tower bridge area plus has great transport links to tube, rail and DLR nearby. Stayed another twice nearby since as I unfortunately couldn't book here again as they wouldn't accept bookings less than 4 nights or it was already fully booked out. I'd have gone back again in a heartbeat.
