If you have never been to East London or not spent much time there then a stay in this part of Walthamstow may challenge received opinions. The flat itself is a very pleasant space, comfortable and furnished with some pleasing artistic touches. It's very spacious and there's a private garden area as well. Note that there's no TV but there is a projector for when you want to watch your own media or listen to some music. The tube is within walking distance (less than 10 minutes) and the local shops are just on the next block. Walthamstow village is about 5 minutes away and has some good pubs and restaurants; the area has some nice historic parts including the local Vestry museum and William Morris house (both free!).
