Eleanor, Matt and the boys made me feel just like a member of their family.
My room was beautifully furnished, comfortable, with an added bonus of occasional visits from Leo the pussycat.
The bath was equipped with a full sized tub and a walk-in shower, which was perfect for me, as I'm no longer a young man.
I had fully access to the kitchen; Eleanor even reserved a separate shelf in the fridge, space in the freezer and a separate shelf on the rolling storage unit.
I had breakfast with Eleanor and the boys (Matt goes to work early), a really lovely experience.
Also, I had full access to the washer/dryer. Eleanor even offered to let me use her laundry detergent, even though I had brought my own pods.
Local shopping is easy. Sainsbury's is a 5 minute walk around the corner next to a mall with almost everything you need.
The bus stops are at the end of the road, about a 6 minute walk away. Bus service is frequent; it's easy to get to either the Tube or Overground.
Overall, I can say that my stay with Eleanor and the family was wonderful.
I wish them well and hope to see them again.
