A good choice as long as the Underground is operating
Our family of 7 persons stayed here for 3 nights on two separate occasions from May 16 thru May 31, 2009. It's quite a ways away from central London but was easy to get to on the Underground--Custom House Station is about a block away. Very spacious, two level apartment with 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths upstairs, and kitchen with dishwasher and clothes washer / dryer, living room with dining area and study and 1/2 bath downstairs. Quiet and comfortable. When windows open in living room, sometimes let smoke in from bar / restaurant patio on level below the apartment. A few nearby restaurants and take-out food places and several grocery markets within walking distance. Last 3 days there was less pleasant because of disruption of the Underground service and somewhat spotty bus links made getting back into central London a bit more challenging.

Spacious and convenient apartment
Cool apartment, well located for travel into London. Quiet location, which was ideal for us with young children. Plenty of room and well equipped and we had no problems.
Would definitely recommend.
