Pros:

The penthouse balcony

Cons:

The lounge /dining room was cramped , especially if you opened the sofa bed.
The entrance to the flat was a bit narrow and uninviting.

Meraviglioso. Da rifere al più presto. Tornerei sicuramente ai Marlin Apartments.
Pros:

La struttura è comoda, pulita e il personale di reception, Silvie in particolare ma tutto lo staff si è dimostrato gentile, disponibile e si è speso per rendere confortevole il nostro soggiorno in un momento, tra l'altro, in cui Londra soffriva gli effetti di un'ondata di calore epocale. L'appartamento era spazioso, ben attrezzato con biancheria e prodotti sufficienti per il nostro gruppo. A pochi minuti dalla stazione della metropolitana collegata con tutte le principali zone di Londra tramite Jubilee, Elizabeth Line, DLR.

Il nostro appartamento si trovava al quinto piano, con una spaziosa terrazza e una bella vista. Nonostante a Londra ci fossero picchi di 38°/39°, la sera in terrazza tirava aria e si riusciva a sopportare la calura eccezionale.

Sul tema calore, la struttura non è dotata di aria condizionata (anche se mi sembra una situazione abbastanza comune a tutta Londra). L'appartamento era comunque dotato di due ventilatori e il personale di reception è riuscito a procurarcene un terzo in modo che ogni stanza da letto ne fosse dotata.

Super consigliata la struttura e super consigliata la zona di Canary Wharf. Quest'ultima, trasmette un senso di sicurezza e tranquillità che per un soggiorno con famiglie/bambini è fondamentale. Meno adatta sicuramente se si cerca vita notturna frenetica.

Il collegamento con Heathrow e comodo e garantito dalla Elizabeth Line. I collegamenti con le zone centrali e turistiche della città sono semplici e in 20 minuti o poco più riesci a raggiungere i punti più iconici.

Canary Wharf ha anche un attracco, comodo ai Marlin Apartments, collegato al centro tramite Uber Boat comoda per una "crociera" sul Tamigi da Battersea Power Station fino a Canary Wharf.

Nell'area più centrale di Canary Wharf ci sono bar, locali e ristoranti.

Cons:

Unica nota negativa, ma comunque marginale rispetto al livello generale della struttura, la connessione wi-fi in camera consentiva di connettere un unico device per volta.

Cons:

No air con - but they didnt advertise that there would be. And the road felt a bit grotty on the way to getting to the apartments. Expensive
for what it was.
