Stephen was unable to meet us in London, but he gave us excellent information about how to get to the house and obtain the keys. There was clear information about the house, and how to access the wifi, use the alarm system, etc., on a card inside. The host responded promptly to our questions an concerns.

The house was adequate for our short stay (only three nights). The neighbourhood was quiet at night, and felt reasonably safe. There are some restaurants and services in the immediate area, one good pub in particular, and it's only about a 5 - 10 minute walk to the Forest Gate train station, which connects to the Underground (tube), or you can take a bus.

Unfortunately, the house was not as clean as we would have expected, and we have already had conversations with the host about this.

The wifi worked well, as did the appliances, including the hot water. We did not need to adjust the heating at all - the house was at a comfortable temperature.

This is a listing that could use a little more care and attention, but it isn't too bad. As I said, for a few nights, it worked out well enough.
