Rainbow Quays

Great location. We were unlucky the weekend we stayed as they closed that section of the jubilee line! We purposely picked this location for the 2 stop tube convenience and as we were going to a sold out concert in the O2 we were worried about getting there and back, but the bus links were excellent and not as busy as we thought it would be and ran late into the night. The location is beautiful surrounded by the quays (the night time view was beautiful) and close to the Thames. Lots within walking distance, McDonald's, Tesco and the little town (the town did look a little run down when we drove past but I find a lot of towns are these days). A short walk to Wetherspoons the next morning for a hangover breakfast! The 11 o clock check out is great, nothing worse than rushing out early after a late night event. We didn't spend much time in the house, but it was perfect for what we needed, 2 double bedrooms for us and our daughter, bits and bobs that we needed were there - hairdryer, iron, ironing board etc. On arrival we had lunch in the pub nearby which overlooked one of the quays, and picked up some drinks and snacks in the nearby shops, all again within walking distance. On street parking is free over the weekend and there seemed to be plenty of space. The host gave us clear instructions to get in and communicated well. All in all, a lovely area and a pleasant stay.

Nothing we can think of

Location was fantastic - 5 mins walk from tube and supermarket but the quays were on our doorstep and were absolutely beautiful. Excellent transport links . Two good sized bedrooms and fans provided to help deal with the heat wave . Very easy to gain access . Well equipped kitchen, everything you would need for a short stay . Having the patio to sit out in was an extra bonus. Good communication with owner who responded to minor issue. All in all would very much recommend.

Only one towel when we arrived although two other bath towels and one small were provided later - would need more for 4 people. Bathroom sink didn't drain very well - needs looking at . A mirror in the front bedroom would be advantageous .

El apartamento tiene todo lo necesario para una estancia de 4 personas. Cocina bien equipada con utensilios suficientes. La persona encargada del mantenimiento es muy simpática y atenta. Al llegar nos comentó que uno de los ventiladores que había en la casa se había roto pero que no nos preocupásemos que nos traería otro. Al día siguiente lo teníamos tal y como nos había dicho. A cinco minutos andando hay un centro comercial con un Tesco. El metro está también a unos 7 u 8 minutos. En la zona hay muchos restaurantes para comer, incluido un pub con una muy buena relación calidad precio.

La limpieza es mejorable. En general está limpio pero cuando te fijas en algunos detalles se ve que hace falta una limpieza más a fondo. El jardín no es aprovechable ya que tanto la mesa como las sillas están en mal estado.

Where the property was, the location is lovely.

The shower kept flooding and isn’t very powerful. Beds weren’t overly comfortable. Trouble getting in and out the back gate. Only ended up staying one night. The property is in need of some TLC.
