Stay at St Katharines Dock area

Nice large Studio Flat with balcony. My wife and I needed a place to stay near our Son who have other family staying with him. The area has several restaurants and the Dickens Inn pub in the area. There is also a grocery store across the street from the Building. The flat was clean and the large bed was comfortable. The washing machine and drying racks were greatly appreciated. We would stay here again.

St Katharine Docks aPT

First, the apt location helped us be close to a relative and served us well for that. Fairly new to VRBO and not sure what windage goes with property descriptions but I found the apt ad did not reflect what we found; no comfortable seating so we resorted to the folding chairs in the apt, large area where flooring was missing, no real view of river.

The place is perfect for our stay. Only a couple of minutes walk to Tower of London and the Tower B.

Nice place and very quiet. Grocery stores across and couple of minutes from cafes and restaurants. The place is right on the St.Katharine’s Docks. A walking distance to the Tower of London, 3 minutes, and Tower Bridge. Big Ben is 25 minutes walk or take your time enjoying the walk along the river Thames. Buckingham Palace, West Minister Abbey are in the walking distance. Will stay there again if we visit London again.

Great location but in need of a refresh

St.Katherine’s Docks are a great location, close to tube station and Uberboat pier and walkable to many sites and restaurants, the Thames is right there as well as a grocery just across the street. The apartment is small, but clean and well priced in a nicely kept, clean building. The host was accessible and helpful. However it is in need of a refresh as it seems to have been neglected. It appears that some work has been done on the bathroom, but a coat of paint is needed. Since there are no outlets in the bathroom it would make sense to move the mirror from the kitchen (?) into the sleeping area where the hairdryer is stored so you are not drying your hair over the kitchen sink. The kitchen is pretty well equipped and has had some work as well, but there’s a large hole in the flooring by the sink and the walls could also use some paint. The kitchen faucet splashes water on whoever is at the sink as well as the walls and anything that you might have nearby - it really needs aerator. The living area has faded furniture, lots of crooked photos and sagging curtains. The blinds in the sleeping area don’t totally operate. Paint is needed in both. The apartment is bright and well lit. Previous reviews talk about views of the marina from the bed and balcony - the only place that you can see the marina from is in the walk up to the front door. There are no views from the bed or balcony other than across the courtyard at other apartments. Those reviews must be of other units and should be removed as they are deceptive. All in all if you just want a decently priced, clean place to lay your head in a good location this place would be fine. If you want a nice, cozy place in a great location (which this could be with some paint and TLC) then you might want to look further.

Amazing location

The apartment is small and basic, but the location can’t be beat. An easy walk to Tower Bridge, Tower of London, the Uber Boat pier, and the Tower Hill underground station. It’s in a quiet area with a view of St Katherine’s Docks. There’s a Waitrose grocery store right across the street with everything one needs. The apartment is best for a couple, but we had our teenage daughter with us there for a week and it worked fine.

Perfect Location near Tower of London

Perfect Location in walking distance of the important sights of London. Easy walk to Tower Bridge, London Bridge, Tower of London and so on. Easy access to tube (Tower Hill) and many bus stations. Big Waitrose supermarket across the street. The flat is exactly how it was desribed. Small (as usual in London) but nicely laid out. Only room for improvement ist the cheap and uncomfortable furniture.

A fantastic experience!

This property is in a beautiful location! Right next to the Tower of London, and yet still tucked away in a quiet, private area. The property was incredibly clean (we didn’t see a single bug in two weeks), and David always responded to questions within minutes. I never write online reviews, but I could not resist posting a rave for this property.

Comfortable Home Base

The one bedroom flat (shown in photos 31-40) was the perfect home base, and David was very welcoming and quick to communicate and respond. Furnishings and decor were true to the photos -- comfortable and functional (IKEA) and fast wifi. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed to make meals with a convenient dishwasher to clean up. And Waitrose is literally across the street -- this is a MAJOR plus, because the flat is situated in a mostly residential area with few shops. There is also a small Tesco Express open until midnight, and 5-6 restaurants conveniently situated around St Katharine's Docks. We can highly recommend the Captain Kidd pub in Wapping. The clothes washer/dryer allowed us to pack light. The bathroom was a comfortable size with a good shower head and water pressure, all the soaps and shampoos you might need, as well as large fluffy towels. The bedroom was quiet with blinds to keep the room dark, though the view from the bedroom windows is spectacular! Lying in bed one night, I watched a gorgeous full moon rise over the Tower Bridge and cross the sky over the marina. The living room has a similar spectacular view with door out to the balcony. The footpath below is a public walkway. The flat is subject to the normal sounds of the city -- traffic, construction, voices, neighbors -- but quiet through the wee hours. Access to a variety of transport is as described: Tower Hill (Circle/District and DLR), bus, cycle share, water taxi. More often, we set out on foot in every direction: along the Thames Path east to Canary Warf and west along the north bank and south bank. It was our mission to visit every riverside pub in Central London! We chose the flat for its location to explore the east end of London. It was the perfect home base for two weeks, especially as we enjoyed unusually bright sunny skies and summer-like temperatures in February!

Lovely, quiet flat with great views

My family of four stayed for four nights and we had a great experience. Right by the docks and close to Tower Bridge and the river, it was lovely to stroll around. The apartment had everything we needed and was easy to find and use. Being across the street from Waitrose was a huge bonus as we were traveling with two weary kids Thanks, David!

Really enjoyed our stay! The apartment met all our needs. The location was perfect for us,.

Located at St. Katherine Docks in East London, the apartment gave us very easy access via the Tube, while giving us a break from the hubbub of Central London. The neighborhood is delightful, immediately across a quiet road from Britain's number one grocery store, Waitrose. The ships, boats & yachts our apartment faced gave a kind of genteel calm to busy days sightseeing. Delightful restaurants & cafes are only minutes away, though we ate in 2 meals a day in since the kitchen was so well equipped & handy. The washer/dryer was especially helpful as we only had to bring 1 carry on bag each. Staying at David's apartment set up our 2 weeks in London to be a big success. Thanks so much, David, for hosting us! Debbie & Roberto

Could not be better...in ANY way!!! Location, amenities, comfort. All PERFECT!!

We have rented various apartments in various locations throughout London - often trying new neighborhoods to experience more that each place has to offer. Well, we have found our perfect spot for all London visits! The apartment was perfect for a couple. Comfy bed, well-stocked kitchen, adequate bathroom, nice living area and dining table leading out to a small deck overlooking the harbor at St. Katharine Docks with Tower Bridge and the Shard in the background. Stunning view! The apartment was clean and secure as was the surrounding area. Huge bonus for a large Waitrose grocery store 30 steps from the ground floor! Late dinners after a day of wandering was a breeze to shop and prepare. Very convenient to bus lines and Tower Hill tube stop. We are not the type of couple that look for things to complain about, but upon pondering this apartment after our stay we were happily able to say that we can not think OF ANY ONE PARTICULAR THING that could have made this stay better!!!!! (Except the weather!) We will definitely return!

Excellent location!!

We stayed 4 nights in David's one bedroom flat. It was clean and very well supplied. There are many options for dining within easy walking distance, a large grocery store right across the street, and very good access (a five minute walk) to Tower Hill Underground station, Tower Gateway, the eastern most stops for the HOHO buses AND the Tower Hill Pier. Coming home to this lovely, tranquil setting each night after a busy day of sightseeing was so relaxing. We would definitely recommend this flat, and hope we'll get back to London someday to make use of it again ourselves.

Good location but outdated flat

Location was really good and practical. Information given also good and the towels and bed linnen were of Hotel quality. Waitrose supermarket is across the street. Nearby Tube station is TowerHill and that is a loverly walk of about 8 minutes Hygiene was ok but not great, Deep cleaning is needed. But floors ans surfaces where clean. Good to realize that the flat is outdated : the kitchen floor is not fully covered with carpeting, everything is old and crooked, the doors barely close, there is a big crack in the window by the double bed and the curtains really do not block any light. The double bed is extremely soft and the sleeping couch and chairs in the living area are very firm. This, combined with the light coming in through the curtains made sleeping conditions difficult for us. Finally the Wifi signal was unstable and would be interrupted few times per hour, making it difficult to watch something. Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay in Londen very much but this explains the 3 stars for the accomodation.

Monolocale sul porticciolo a 10 minuti dalla metro Tower Hill

Abbiamo trascorso una settimana a fine agosto, con un bambino di 10 anni . Gli spazi sono ben organizzati, con la cucina separata e la zona letto chiusa da una tenda. Piacevole il balconcino, faceva molto caldo ma ogni parte del monolocale era finestrata (c'era anche un ventilatore). Comodo il supermercato davanti casa, bello il porticciolo. Per la metro ci sono 10-15 minuti a piedi tutti in zona pedonale. Perfetto per la Torre di Londra e il TowerBridge, un po' decentrato per le altre attrazioni ma con la tube si arriva ovunque. Soddisfatti.
