Sarah is a very kind, considerate and helpful host. Whenever I had questions on directions, tips for activities or unfamiliar, British matters (what does a mail box in Britain look like =)?), she gave me advice.

The room (I lived in the small one with a closet and a dresser) was bigger than it seemed in the photos with lots of space for storage. The only thing I missed after a while was space for a desk and a chair but that might only be my issue.

Her flat is well connected to public transport services- you can take the nearby overground to Liverpool Street and take a tube from there, go by bus to the nearest tube station which only takes a few minutes or go directly by bus to Waterloo Station, London Bridge or King's Cross/Euston which is very convenient and the cheapest.

I also liked the neighbourhood which is not too busy and has nice parks, pubs and a few cute shops.

All in all, it was uncomplicated and nice living with Sarah.
