Staying at Sally’s place was like staying at a home away from home. I love to cook so being able to use a full kitchen was a godsend, and Sally was great at offering me ingredients I was missing or sharing food she had made (and she is an amazing cook!). The room itself is a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of London- bright, comfortable, loads of storage and looks out over the Wanstead Flats so you have some nature right out the window! The flat is located with plenty of means of transport (buses, overground, TFL, tube- expect to spend around 45-55 minutes to get to Central London including walking time) and very close to the Stratford Westfield which will get you just about anything you could ever need! I had so many great chats with Sally who is a wealth of knowledge on all things London and has really great recommendations for things to do off the beaten path. I was sad to say goodbye after my month-long stay and feel like I made a life-long connection.
