Carol's home was characterful and cosy (ask her where all the items came from ;) ) and the room was right next to the bathroom. Carol is a very interesting person with many stories to tell, always friendly and responsive, plus eager to make my stay more comfortable. The location is an easy journey on the Overground to east London and a short walk to the underground to reach the centre quickly. There are quite a few cafes and grocery shops nearby. I will return the next time I'm in London to this home away from home.
