A contemporary Isle of Dogs apartment with Canary Wharf views framing the living room windows – not bad for winding down after a day in the city.

Home truths
This apartment is compact – smaller than the photos suggest, so go in with realistic expectations about space. It works well for one person or a couple travelling light.
Self check-in means collecting your key independently before you arrive. A few guests have found the key pickup location – at a bicycle rack near a Tesco – a little unexpected, so it's worth reading the arrival instructions carefully and planning your check-in for daylight hours if possible.
This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay.
While the home can sleep up to three people, the maximum occupancy is two guests.

About Canary Wharf
Known as the beating heart of London’s financial world, Canary Wharf has undergone a minor makeover in recent years. The skyscraper-heavy business district has carved out a place for itself in the city’s cultural scene, hosting a thriving independent retail reputation, pop-up restaurants and a free open-air gallery, which includes works from world-renowned artists Camile Walala and Helaine Blumenfeld. You wouldn't expect to find a green oasis in this part...
