Wonderful flat in a great location. Mike was easy to work with and gave clear instructions. The flat was clean and had everything ready when we arrived. He let us drop our bags before check in. The flat is within walking distance of the underground and various sights. We would recommend Mike and the flat. If we come back, this would be our first place to check availability.

The location of this property is ideal, easy walking distance to the Tower of London and a tube station. The apartment is bright, well stocked and the little balcony is very pleasant. The owner communicated essential details of the stay promptly and was available for questions via text/email. I would definitely stay here again!

Easy to get everywhere….10 minute walk to Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and underground. Bus stop at grocery store 3 minutes away. But quiet and up crowded. Plenty of great places to eat around the docks. Great communication. Clean and well kept.

Great place to stay
This was a great place to stay while visiting London. A short walk from the Tower Bridge station which was very convenient. It was very clean and it was easy to communicate with host.

Quiet, comfortable and central
No sounds of cars, jets or late night clubbing. Instead it’s birds chirping and leaves in the trees. This place is very convenient too: a waitrose 50m away, Tower of London and right next to a lively mark a with restaurants and views. We highly recommend.

Super Fun Location/Perfect Apartment
The apartment was a perfect space for the two of us. The bed was comfortable and the location was nice and quiet. We did not do a lot of cooking but the kitchen was set up nicely if you want to cook in. St Katherine's Dock is a great location IMO; lots of great walking from there plus easy public transportation options. The host is very easy to communicate with. We definitely recommend!

Wonderful!
We had an absolutely wonderful week at this flat — the location by the marina was the reason we booked it and also the outside deck and overall it was a great place! The grocery store is right across the street, the dickens pub is just around the corner and the tower hill tube station is a quick & easy walk along the docks. Mike was super helpful and responsive I definitely recommend.
4.8
Accessing the property from the road at night didn't feel safe as it is quite dark and there is no one around. We worked out we could access the apartment block from the docks which felt safer at night. There is an excellent supermarket across the road and the apartment is fully equipped and comfortable.

David send me a detailed e-mail, so I could get to the flat easily.The flat has a enough space and facilities to 1~2 people staying.Waitrose, many restaurants, and cafes are near the flat.It became so great stay in the flat.Thank you, David!

Had a fantastic time. Great location. So close to the tower bridge and the hop on hop off bus. Would come back in a heart beat.

I stayed 3 solo nights in very well sized(excellent for 1 or 2), quiet and immaculate flat. I had some worries that I would be too far out of the way - but they were wrong. Nice area and easy access to Tower and Tower Bridge and on into other parts of London from Tower Hill station. Interestingly constructed building with bonus of no other apt. above! Good grocery opposite and plenty of other dining ops both new and seasoned!! David was a friendly and informative host - well done!!

My 13 year old son and I spent 14 days in this place and absolutely loved it! There are so many close restaurants and a grocery store right across the street. It is the model of convenience for city living. The flat is at the end of a long walkway, so you get the feeling that you have a fairly private location considering you are in a large building. We left the door open at all times we were up and at home to allow the very nice breeze to flow through the place. It was very refreshing and relaxing.
I slept in the bed and my son slept on the couch. There was maybe room for one more on the floor, but the bed would be tight for two adults, but would work for a couple who didn't mind being close, it was essentially a double size bed. The internet worked well and the kitchen had everything we needed for the stay. It was fully stocked with all the plates, glasses and silverware we needed as well as many other large items.
The place was great, but even better was the location. There are so many good restaurants and places to go and see in short walking distance. The location is safe and if you want, lively as there is plenty of nightlife close by at the Dickens Inn.
All in all, if you have just a couple or maybe a couple of friends, this is as good as it gets for the access and amenities. I highly recommend you give it a shot!

Perfect stay, the neighborhood is upscale with many restaurants and a beautiful marina view. The supermarket is right accross the street. Safe and clean building, clean apartments with good linens and nice kitchen. The owner is very accommodating and sent good, very detailed check-in instructions and how to find the building. Very satisfied.

The extraordinary variety of options is the best part about your stay in this comfortable, well-equipped flat. A leisurely 10 to 15 minute stroll from the Tower Hill Tube Station, you'll enjoy discovering different routes through and around Saint Katherine's Docks. My favorite walk was in the other direction, following a path along what I think was a former turning basin channel to Wapping, where you'll find shops, cafes, a post office, even a pub once owned by the painter J.M.W. Turner. Or you may prefer to hike away from the Thames to explore nearby Whitechapel, or if it happens to rain, browse in the covered Old Spitalfields Market.The Saint Katharine's Docks and nearby neighborhoods mostly look modern, however, you are surrounded by history if you keep your eyes open. Look up and notice that you are standing in front of a "Soup Kitchen For The Jewish Poor" according to the stonework above the entrance to one building. Or you can view tombstones for John Bunyan and William Blake in a burial ground near to trendy Ozone Coffee.Practicalities: find a Waitrose grocery and a Pumblechooks Deli Cafe right across the road, a minute's walk.I liked to make my own breakfast in the flat's tidy kitchen, which has everything I needed. Notice the mirror on the wall near the sink to expand your view of London's skyline! The flat is quiet if you want to turn in early or sleep in. Be aware that the bed is very comfortable, but the bedroom is quite sunny in morning. (Did you really come here to sleep all day?) The appliances, plumbing, wifi, etc. all work well. This place is roomy for one, ideal for a couple, cozy for three...might feel crowded with four unless you are a family and used to the togetherness.Would I return? Yes, in fact I extended my stay on my first visit.

The location made travel in London easy with both bus and underground close by. Food shopping is directly across the road. The flat was quiet and with a comfortable bed, sleep was no problem at all. David met us to show the flat, and even arranged a taxi for our early morning departure - an extra service, as was the provision of complimentary toiletries. We would stay again.

This flat is very clean, well stocked and equipped , comfortable and a terrific location. The owner was very helpful and accommodating . We strongly reccomend this flat for a long visit .

This property was in an ideal location for us. It gave a nice reprieve from the noise of the heart of London. We enjoyed walking around the harbor, getting coffee at the various shops, while watching the boats pass underneath the Tower Bridge. The unit itself was clean and comfortable with the washing machine and drying racks coming in handy for us. The bed was comfortable and the shower had very hot water which we appreciated. David was attentive to our questions and answered our emails very quickly.
We will recommend this location to all or friends and family.

This was my second time staying in this complex and working with David and it won't be my last. This time I stayed in the 3rd floor studio. While not to my mind as charming as the 2nd floor flat, it is the same size, similarly furnished and equipped (note the washer!). I was perfectly content there. Perfect for a single person or couple.The flat is quite comfortable and has everything one needs. Because it is on the interior courtyard it is quiet and private. The location is is one of big draws. You can get anywhere in London easily from this location and there's quite a bit to see and do and many options for food and drink nearby or just across the Thames. There's also a supermarket literally across the street.David is very responsible and responsive. I have nothing but praise.

We had a great time during our stay in London and being able to return to the flat at St. Katherine's Dock made it even better. The location could not have been better as we were close to the Tube, the River Bus and shopping as well as within walking distance of many interesting sights, including the Tower of London. We were quite pleased with the flat itself.

We stayed in apartment on 3rd floor which had elevator and was easily accessible. Place was as described and was very clean. Was easy to find and host meet at the apartment and responds quickly to emails. There is a waitrose right across the street and you can walk to tower bridge in 5 mins.
