Niamh was an awesome host. She was in constant contact with us prior to our trip, answered all our questions, and went out of her way to help us feel right at home when we arrived. The flat was exactly as we expected, and Niamh provided us with everything we needed plus a welcome box of chocolate biscuits. She even had a brand new sofa bed brought in so our daughter didn't have to sleep on the couch, even though we reassured her she didn't need as that's what we signed up for. Our daughter says her bed in London was more comfortable than her bed at home!
The lay out of the flat was ideal, especially for our family. Our daughter could close the living room door for privacy while she was sleeping, my husband and I used the bedroom, and since I'm an early riser I could make my cup of coffee and have a nice read in the morning in the kitchen or on the balcony without disturbing anyone.

The flat is well situated, less than 10 minutes walk to the tube, right on the Central Line. Loads of places to eat or grab groceries or coffee. In fact, we often picked up fruit in the morning and munched away on our walk to the tube. On our first morning of sightseeing, the tube attendant at Leyton station was extremely helpful and set us up with our Oyster cards right away.

There's a bit of ambient street noise in the flat, but nothing intrusive and typical of London. Some parts of the flat are a bit worn, and we only mention this so people are prepared as its not at all a criticism. It's clean and tidy, warm and hospitable and our feline hosts were sweethearts and treated us very well! We stayed in Niamh's flat for a week and enjoyed every single minute of our stay. Overall we had a brilliant stay here and would definitely recommend it.
