A hidden bargain! Ann is an over-the-top great host with a talent for decor. The accommodations were lovely in a quiet, safe neighbourhood.
There is some surprisingly good dining options in the area with Kervan Saray a particular Turkish delight.
The taxi to Harold Wood station was 10 pounds with ( a decent) tip but only six minutes by bike. Central London is under an hour away depending on the final location.
I hope to return.
