We stayed with Lesley for 6 nights and I must say she is quite the eccentric.
The room was clean and a good size and the bed was comfortable. We did have to share the bathroom with Lesley and another couple for two nights but even so it worked out quite well. As mentioned before the shower has very little pressure and one needs to run around under it to get wet but it does get the job done.
Lesley provided good bread, cereal and eggs to use for breakfast.
The only bad points were that Lesley came home late on the Friday night after we were already in bed and proceeded to verbally abuse her boyfriend using some very choice expletives. Also on the Sunday night she had been out at a rehearsal and then came home and started singing at the top of her voice for quite some time after we had gone to bed which was a bit annoying.
The Victoria Park Village just around the corner is fantastic and has some great restaurant/cafés and bars.
Getting to and from Lesley's house is quite easy with a short bus trip to Mile End and then the underground to just about anywhere.
All in all not a bad stay but I think Lesley can make some improvements.
Please feel free to ask me any questions.
