In the ghetto near a police station
The cover image implies a view of the Thames. That is not the case. It faces a major highway, adjacent to a police station. All evening and night long, you can hear the sirens passing by. The room is listed as a double room in a great location, and that there was a private kitchen. I falsely assumed that meant I was renting the entire flat. No, the owner stayed there the entire time. I didn't realize I would be sharing a bathroom with a man. I could / should have asked, which is my fault. I also have to give him credit because I didn't see him the entire time, however it was vaguely uncomfortable knowing he was in the other room. I wasn't sure if I needed to coordinate bathroom schedules, etc., which again was a communication gap I didn't address.
There was a lot of graffiti around this part of town. My view was across a major highway to a concrete silo. Walking to the tube felt a little dangerous / sketchy at night.
The room had a weird smell. I tried to use the dishwasher and the laundry, but neither seemed to work. These photos look 10 years old. The shower curtain wasn't weighted with magnets, so it attacks you.
All that said, it was incredibly affordable, and it was central to the Limehouse station (which isn't a very nice or big station), but it connects to basically everywhere else. I was able to walk to St. Kathrine's & Wapping in 30 minutes (along the highway, but on the sidewalk).
If I had to do it over, I'd think long and hard about it.
