Colegrave House was exactly as I had hoped it would be. I received a warm welcome on arrival (a nice cup of tea) which was really appreciated after a long drive. The room itself was by far the cleanest and cosiest room I have stayed in with air bnb. When you're travelling alone, it's lovely to see homely touches.

I know the area well anyway, but for someone new to London, I'd say Stratford/Leyton is ideal. Everything is so accessible from there both by tube and bus, you won't have any trouble finding your way around. You also have the bonus of a giant shopping centre. Parking on weekends is free and reasonable car parks are nearby. I really cannot recommend Michele as a host and her home enough. I'll definitely be going back, if I'm allowed :)

Although the pictures make it look small. Don't be fooled by it's size... all good things come in small packages!
