You will expect a very quiet, private space with your own entrance. You are also bordering Tottenham and Haringey. You have 2 huge parks near by: Downhills Park and Lordship Lane Park (rec center is there as well).
Two major buses, the W3 and W4 will both take you to Turnpike Lane station and Wood Green station. The people in the area are very nice, the local Sainsbury Express( on Lordship Lane) has 2 very nice people who works the counters. The area is very nice and worth a visit!
