Always a risk booking a place without reviews but occasionally it proves worthwhile & this is one of those examples as Camille's apartment was far better than I expected. Fairly quiet side road in Forest Gate with loads of parking but sadly all of it is permit-only . This is an issue if you arrive before 6pm as everywhere on these streets is restricted but if you drive to the end of the road there are some bays where you can stay for a couple of hours (a visitor's permit would be very useful). Camille gave me the keys, showed me around & then left me to my own devices (she lives elsewhere). Bright, airy & comfortable apartment with plenty of character, quiet neighbours, loads of shops within walking distance. Sofabeds are generally something I avoid but this one is very comfortable with a firm mattress that's ideal for bad backs & is probably a small-double in size. There is no tv but the wifi seems strong. All in all I can recommend the apartment & hopefully in the near future Camille will be able to rectify the teething problems that include the parking issue, lack of a key lockbox (everything relies upon the host being able to meet the tenant), and the fact that the blinds don't keep the sun out which meant that I was woken up at daybreak due to the light. Would definitely stay again if I'm working in the area.
