Very close to the centre of Stratford. Lovely comfortable apartment, excellent facilities, very clean and tidy.

A slightly larger bed would have been the icing on the cake but it was fine.

Excellent location 2 minutes walk from Stratford town. Parking space is a real bonus. Excellent shower. As a solo traveller you feel secure in the property. Excellent communication from the host with lots of useful photos and information to help you, great welcome info. Good powerful hair dryer in the property and a guest Netflix account.

The downside of being so central is the noise in the lounge from the traffic outside, as I was travelling alone I spent the evenings in the flat and had to turn the tv up to hear it over the traffic. The flat does have double glazing, so I’m not sure what else could be done but the bedroom at the back is nice and quiet. I would say the bedroom and bathroom could do with a re paint, the walls are quite badly marked in lots of places, this doesn’t affect your stay but it doesn’t give the best impression.
