Monica was very easy to communicate and is a super nice person. She lives next to the room we rented but privacy was respected. I really appreciate that she let us lounge and chill at her beautiful yard. She also gave us a tip how to get to Heathrow airport via Victoria line station and it was very helpful.
Monica's place is in a quiet residential area in Woodford - bus station is nearby and is not so hard to get to central London (in 40 min or so). Because I didn't have Oyster card initially, I could not ride buses, so I used Uber often. Probably it is recommended for travellers with cars.
The room had everything we needed - a small kitchen with fridge, kettle, and toaster was nice. Oh I must say I loved the big nice towels she provided very much!
