About this property

This one's got a gym, sauna and a steam room!!!

Well presented, clean, and cozy, 1-double bedroom apartment, overlooking the new Olympic stadium and the Olympic​ village, in zone 2. It comes with free use of the gym, sauna, and steam room facilities. It sleeps up to 3 people, but is ideal for 1 and/or 2.

This is very clean and tidy, 1 double bedroom flat, within transport zone 2. The apartment is overlooking the Bow river canal and the new Olympic stadium in East London, with excellent travel links. All rooms are very spacious and with modern furniture with plenty of storage space. The kitchen is smaller than the rest of the rooms but very practical and fully equipped. All towels and linen are also provided, together with the welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk, and breakfast cereal for the duration of your stay. Overall, this is an ideal East London base for your vacation and/or work in the city. You will have sole use of the flat during your stay.

£130 per night is based on 2 people staying per night. Furthermore, another sofa bed is situated in the living room, for 3rd person for an extra £30 per night.
The price per night is as follows:
Up to 2 People - £130
Up to 3 People - £150

PLEASE NOTE:
* £100 CLEANING FEE APPLICABLE TO EVERY BOOKING!

The apartment is located in a very safe, gated block of flats on the 2nd floor, with the added luxury of the gym, steam room, and sauna facilities on the ground floor for no extra cost. The gym complex is open daily from 6 AM-11 PM. The concierge is present every weekday from 8 AM-4 PM, and on Saturdays from 8 AM-12 AM.

The apartment is at the back of the building and is very quiet. The only thing that might wake you up in the morning is the sound of ducks from the nearby canal; it is rather therapeutic though. Neighbors are mostly professional couples in their mid-'30s, very quiet, and have no children. There are few restaurants and/or bars close to the building; Dane’s Yard Bar and Restaurant is highly recommended and only a few minutes away.

Free use of gym and steam and sauna facilities is the best bit this place has to offer. It is open daily, from 6 AM until 11 PM and I strongly advise you to use it, - ok, perhaps not the 'torture chambers', sorry, the gym, but definitely the steam room and the sauna. - It gets busier only in the evening, from 7 PM.

The Central House is located on the north side of the High Street. It is a convenient and well connected, accessible location if attending exhibitions or sporting events at Excel and O2 Arena, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park/Stadium, and Victoria Park (Festivals: Field Day, Lovebox, As One In the Park); or if you are working locally, (3 Mills Studios, Stratford, Greenwich, Canary Wharf, Docklands & the City).

The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park offers a fantastic array of sports activities and other attractions. You could swim in the Aquatic Centre, or visit ArcelorMittal Orbit; standing 114.5m tall, with two observation floors, at 76m and 80m, the ArcelorMittal Orbit provides visitors with stunning views over the Park and across London’s famous skyline. It is both a work of art and a thrilling experience. For full details about the Olympic Park, please visit the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park website.

Central London is 30 to 40 minutes away, depending on traffic. This is transport zone 2 and travel links are excellent; there are 4 Underground and/or Docklands Light Railway stations, all within 10 to 12 minutes on foot. Your closest station is Pudding Mill Lane, (DLR), and it is 3 minutes away. Bow Road, (DLR), is 6 to 7 minutes away; Bow Church, (Tube) is 8 to 9 minutes away and Bromley-By-Bow, (Tube), is about 10 to 12 minutes away. Please see the pictures for directions.

Stratford International train & bus/coach station is approximately 15 minutes walk away, which provides direct access to Central, Jubilee, DLR, London Overground, and other regional trains services, as well as coaches to Stansted Airport, which depart every 15 minutes.

Among others, bus number 25 operates very frequently and this is a 24-hour service to central London and Oxford Street. On the other hand, if you are a sporty type and prefer cycling, there are 2 Barclay's Cycle Hire docking stations within a 5 minutes walk from my apartment.

Due to the London Olympic Games 2012, the entire Stratford area was vastly regenerated and developed, becoming the main retail hub for East London. Westfield Shopping Centre in Stratford is Europe’s largest urban shopping and leisure center, with more than 250 shops and 70 places to dine. A vast, bustling, covered shopping mall with numerous shops, stocking designer clothes for every pocket as well as high-end, luxury brand stores; an Apple store, a diverse range of food options, a 17-screen multiplex cinema, and a 24hr Casino.

Heading west from Stratford, whether it's towards the trendy Shoreditch for nightlife, bohemian Hackney, London Fields & Victoria Park, or the business districts within The City & Docklands, all are readily accessible via the frequent local bus services.

There are 2 local Tesco shops: Tesco Superstore and Tesco Express, both within 8 to 10 minutes on foot.

I am a 40-year old photographer and usually, I live here on my own. When rented, my girlfriend (yes I know, sorry ladies, :), gets to have me and sometimes she's very happy about that and sometimes not so much...

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, queries, or are simply curious.

* All electrical appliances are in working order.

* The apartment entry door automatically locks behind you, but you need to manually push and/or pull the doors, depending on if you’re coming or leaving. Obviously, do not leave without the keys and then shut the door; you will not be able to get back in. I know this sounds idiotic and patronizing and I apologize, but please make sure you shut the doors behind you. I have had a very unpleasant experience recently, whereby, guests left the premises without closing the door behind. My flat was left open for 5 hours and I have had to change all the locks.

Second stay in a lovely apartment in a great location!

My husband and I enjoyed staying in Dejan’s apartment for the second time this year. The apartment is in a great location with good transport links. The apartment is comfortable and a great place from which to explore London. Thanks Dejan!!

Really good stay in a nice flat in a great location

Dejan's apartment is well-situated and comfortable. The transport links on the DLR, bus and tube could not have been better to access central London and it is very comfortable having Westfield Stratford as well as supermarkets etc. so close. We had one problem during our stay and Dejan was available immediately despite not being in the UK, helpful and dealt with it in the best possible manner. There are one or two small things that could be better; the kitchen equipment is fine but if you really want to cook during your stay there are a few things that would make it easier - a better-sized frying pan, liquidiser, an oven tray... the duvets for additional guests are 120x150cm which is rather on the small side for an adult. It is a shame that there is not a washer-dryer - hanging bedsheets to dry on clothes horses really does take up a good deal of space in a small apartment! We definitely enjoyed the time we spent in London and having somewhere as nice as Dejan's home to stay really made a big difference to our stay!

Dejan is a very thoughtful host, always available to answer all your questions at moments notice. The flat itself is exceptionally clean, well presented and with perfect travel connections into central London. Gym and sauna are simple, but very effective. All in all, I have had a fantastic 2-week stay and will be coming back if available. Thank you Dejan

Great stay in Dejans apartment!

Dejan is a very friendly and welcoming host! The apartment is tidy and well equiped, so everything you need is there! Whenever we had questions or needed something he was available and tried to help us the good he could. The apartment has a good connection to the London transport system. I would definitely recommend this apartment for a stay in London!

The host with the most

Dejan is a great host, very quick to answer all your questions and very easy to talk to. The flat itself is clean, cosy, quiet and immaculately presented. We stayed at Dejan’s for full 3 weeks and felt at home from day one. Travel connections are plenty and although there are no bars or restaurants in the close proximity, Stratford is only one stop away, where there are many. Truly wonderful experience. Thank you Dejan

Awesome place

Dejan's place was awesome! Very close to public transportation and a massive Westfield shopping centre, (there's a bus stop in front of the building and an overground line, around the corner. The flat is extremely clean, spacious, and quiet. Dejan was quick to answer all our questions and very accommodating indeed. I would definitely recommend his flat.

Helpful

On arrival to the property Dejan the host was,very helpful and couldn't do enough for me. Give me a very detailed explanation about the property and surrounding area. The property is clean and with everything I needed to make my stay comfortable. Dejan was always at the other end of the phone if I needed any thing. Very close to Westfield and other shops. Westfield hosting a variety of eateries and great for transport links. When ever I'm back in that area Dejan will be my first port of call.

Great flat highly recommended!

Dejan’s flat is as beautiful as it comes ; very clean, modern and comfortable. I only stayed there for few days, but would definitely be happy staying even for few months. It has all the comforts you could wish for, super clean, but obviously, the best bits are the gym, sauna and steam room on the ground floor. Very nice indeed!

Loved it. Recommended.

We had a great stay in Dejan’s flat. It was super clean and very comfortable. The flat is very safe, with closed gates and concierge. Dejan was kind enough to let us get an early check in, (3AM!!!), which we really appreciated. The flat itself is spacious for a 1-bedroom, exceptionally clean and with easy access to central London.

Excellent apartment

This is my second time at Dejan’s. Again, Dejan was a great host. Super generous, kind and thoughtful. The listing is as described, but with some brand new furniture in the bedroom and the living room, which you cannot see in the pictures. You need to update this Dejan, The neighborhood is much better than the last time round, with some new restaurants near-by and very close to the tube and everything that I needed. It was a great stay. Thanks!

A wonderful week

My stay was really comfortable and pleasant. The flat is very clean and it's got everything you need for your holiday. It is very well communicated with the City centre by the underground and there is also a bus (25) which takes you to Oxford Street. But the best thing is the owner: Dejan is a friendly and helpful person, who will make things easier for you. I highly recommend it.

Excellent location, clean & tidy apartment

Dejan's apartment is so lovely and clean. We had a fantastic 2 weeks in his apartment. This apartment has all the essentials you need and is presented really well. Dejan was so lovely to take us in on the same day we phoned for accommodation. This meant he had to clean up and move out on the same day, which we understand would of been a hassle for him, however he made no complaint of it. He was even kind enough to let us store our luggage for the day while he prepared it so we could go out to the shops and pubs. We chose to prepare and cook at a lot of of our meals at home and Dejan's kitchen is well equipped for that. Tesco's is only a 10 minute walk to the superstore or a 6 minute walk to the mini store. This apartment is close to the DLR line (Pudding Mill) which connects you with Bow or Stratford, meaning you can take the central line into the city. There is also a bus stop outside which can take you up to Stratford in less than 10 minutes. I highly recommend this apartment if you are staying in London for a few days or a few weeks.

Nette kleine Wohnung

Wir waren für 12 Nächte dort und die Wohnung war sauber mit einer gut ausgestatteten Küche. Übergabe war sehr freundlich und problemlos. Die Anbindung an die Innenstadt über Bus/Tube oder DLR dauert ca. 25 Min. Bushalt direkt vor dem Haus, Fahrzeit zur Tube Stratford (Jubilee od. Central) ca. 5 Min., zur DLR (Pudding Mill Lane) ca. 5 Min. zu Fuß. Supermarkt mit tägl. Öffnung bis 23 Uhr in ca. 300m Entfernung. Für 2 Personen auch gut für einen längeren Aufenthalt geeignet, eine evtl. dritte Person hat nur ein Luftbett zur Verfügung. Wer es nach einem Tag London noch schafft kann auch das Fitnesstudio, die Sauna oder das Dampfbad im Haus nutzen. Einziges kleines Manko ist der fehlende Esstisch und die "englische" Matraze.

Praktisch, sauber, prima Kontakt!

Wir waren zu dritt in dieser Wohnung. Einrichtung ist sehr komplett, die Nutzung des Fitnessraums problemlos zu jeder Tageszeit. Nach London Stadtzentrum sind es 20 Minuten, die Anbindung klappt prima, das große EKZ Westfield ist quasi um die Ecke für alle Shoppingfreunde. Die gesamte Abwicklung lief sehr gut.

Nice base for a great stay

Thanks to Dejan for the perfect organization. He provided us all the information we need before coming and during the stay. The flat is really nice, comfortable, very clean and useful equiped. We even went to the gym several times ! Very good holiday experience for me and my two teenaged daughters (don't miss the Westfield shopping center).

A Home Away from Home

Having read the description and viewed the photos, we immediately felt at home the moment we arrived. The convenience of the bus stop right outside the property helped make traveling to visit family in various areas around London, a breeze. If you are looking for a base for excursions or simply to enjoy holiday shopping this is a cosy apartment to come home to and to enjoy self catering. Safe, quiet, private, comfortable, very clean and conveniently located with the added plus of the gym and sauna to maintain workout routines with an aquatic centre a couple of bus stops away. A friendly, amenable host ensures a positive holiday experience. Thumbs up on this rental.

Just what we were looking for!

It was perfect! This flat was just what we were looking for. It was very comfortable and provided everything we needed. The location was a little far from city center, but still only a few minute walk from the DLR which connected to the tube at Stratford. It was a great location in that the area felt very safe and it has a nice view of the Olympic stadium. We were there for a week and really enjoyed our time. Dejan was an amazing host was always available to answer any questions we had. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and hope to stay here when we return to London. Thank you Dejan!!! :)
