Perfect, cozy and convenient!
This cozy flat was the absolute perfect stay for our week in London! It's adorable and situated in a quiet area with stunning views as well as a huge variety of great restaurants within walking distance. Super close to the tube and any amenities, I would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat. Communication with Mike was easy and clear for our stay. Can't recommend it enough!

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.

Good location but outdated flat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 Good to realize that the flat is outdated : the kitchen floor is not fully covered with carpeting, everything is old and crooked, the doors barely close, there is a big crack in the window by the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.

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.

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.

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.

Genau das Richtige für einen bisschen längeren Londonaufenthalt.
Die Lage des Objekts und das Haus waren genau das Richtige, um nach dem täglichen Stadtaufenthalt nach hause und zur Ruhe zu kommen. Die St. KatharinaDocks sind wirklich schön und man kann abends gut noch etwas trinken gehen. Die Nähe zur Tower Bridge ist klasse und mit der Circle Line kommt man überall hin.

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.

Excellent apartment - spotlessly clean with a breathtaking view of the Tower of London. Bed was very comfortable, wifi was fast, there was a good choice of TV channels, and there's a big Waitrose a couple of minutes walk away. Would 100% stay again.

Great Stay at a Beautiful Location
I had a wonderful stay at Charle's place. The location on the Saint Katherine's docks is incredible. It was super easy to walk to the Tower Hill Tube Station as well as the various nice restaurants alongside the docks. The view off the balcony is really pretty, and the apartment was clean and had everything we needed. The check in/out system was easy as well. Would recommend it!

Comfortable flat in unbeatable location
The location is hard to beat -- a beautiful view (as advertised) of the boats at St Katherine Dock, plus the Shard and Tower Bridge. Easy walks to public transportation (bus, tube, and DLR), the Thames, the Tower and Tower Bridge. I liked how easy it was to get to everything in central London without being in the middle of the bustle. It's also very convenient to the interesting, less touristed neighborhoods of Wapping, Shadwell, and Limehouse. The flat is in a secure building and the area feels very safe. There's a well-equipped kitchen and a full-size Waitrose grocery store right across the street. Check-in and check-out went very smoothly. Simon's co-host David met me when I arrived and was easy to communicate with throughout the stay. I would definitely consider staying here again the next time I'm in London.

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!
