Comments from the owner:Top 3 things (home):

Balcony - many truly beautiful sunrises have been enjoyed sitting there with a coffee

Super efficient - almost never need to turn heating on

Kitchen/living space - has been a great location for throwing dinner parties and socialising 

Top 3 things (area):

The park - we often refer to it as our “back garden” given how close it is

Local shops - for us it’s the bakeries, cheesemongers, butchers and independent coffee shops all a short stroll away and always impress visitors

Transport connections - in addition to the train line, regular buses, the DLR and Jubilee lines make getting around very convenient
