I stayed at Stephen's for about two months during an exchange university programme. The room is spacious, cozy and, above all, very luminous thanks to the big bow window facing the street. Alternatively, it's possible to slide down the curtains if you don't fancy too much light early in the morning. The palm adds a very peculiar touch of ambience which I really appreciated, plus the table underneath allows you to enjoy your meals more in private if you want, or may just be an additional relaxation spot, and it proved invaluable during my long stay. The kitchen is shared with no more than other two housemates and it's provided with everything you may need.
Another major point in favour is the oustanding position of the house, just few minutes away from Forest Gate station, that has recently been improved with the new Elizabeth Line, allowing you to get to central London in about 20-30 minutes. The Neighbourhood is quiet and it doesn't lack of every type of amenities, from long-hours supermarkets to nice restaurants.
All in all it's totally been a great stay, the best I've had so far out of my five ones in London. Absolutely recommendable and I hope I'll get the chance to have anothe nice stay there in the future.
