Although the host was confusing, and speaks just basic English, I did make, of the two guests, a new life long friend via Facebook, and we hope to meet up in America. The second guest, aware, perhaps of how confusing the host is, was friendly and gave me a lovely gift from Japan.
The street is in a noisy area, close to a major highway. The residential street is about two kilometres long, away from Walthamstow centre.
I did as asked, including recycling - I support the Green party.
Each day I asked if it was still okay to go downstairs at night, and I always was happy to put my clothes in the washing machine and dryer.
The host is a very light sleeper, but although the floor boards creak even with socks, does not want to put any quietening rugs there.
The host asked me to leave a good review, and apparently the hosts wrote two good reviews, A week later the third review was written.
