This is a nice place, roomy, fairly comfortable and in a good location. Very close to Greenland Pier and the Thames Clipper ferries. A couple of decent pubs, a good Indian takeaway, and newsagent/grocery store in the immediate locality and if, like us, you arrange for a Tesco food delivery you are set up. We liked being so close to the centre of London and yet it was like being in a suburban town, so quiet and lovely to hear birds singing. The ladies in reception were very helpful but I did feel that I should not have had to go in to reception as often as I did ie how does the heating work (it was very cold at night), can we have extra pillows (at this level we expect two pillows each), dishwasher tablets please (I was told beforehand that all cleaning things were included, and had I known I had to ask for them I would have ordered some with my Tesco order - 2 tablets is now enough for a week). Sometimes we went out before they started work and came back after they had finished for the day. Also I think clearer info should have been given on how to get to the apartments. We travelled to Canada Water by underground from Heathrow and planned to hail a taxi, but none were around. So we took a bus (number 381 or C10) to Lady Dock Path. For those wanting info on how to get to Odessa Wharf from the bus stop - cross over road and go past the front of the Ship York pub, then turn right, walk past the Chinese and Indian takeaways, and the shop/newsagent. Turn left and you will see the Ship & Whale pub in front of you. Pass either side of this pub and Odessa Wharf is behind it. Buy a Transport for London Oyster Card because it will save you loads on buses and underground, and a small discount on the Thames Clippers. ie £2.70 from Heathrow to Canada Water on underground instead of £5. £1.30 on bus from Canada Water to Lady Dock Path instead of £2.20. We spent over £50 each during the week on the Oyster Card but this would have been nearer £100 each without it. Overall a good week at Odessa Wharf and I would recommend it.
