We stayed at Stephen's house for 6 weeks. Stephen is a warm, gracious and friendly host who goes out of his way to ensure his guests are comfortable. He is also quick to respond to any request. The house is on a quiet, pleasant residential street in a very ethnically-diverse neighborhood. There is good wifi, a large-screen TV, and comfortable bed. The house is simple but adequately furnished and the kitchen was also adequate since we cooked virtually all of our meals. The main shopping street is about an 8-minute walk, with 2 supermarkets, several fast-food places, and the TFL rail station. In the opposite direction, about a 5-minute walk from the house, are several bus lines which will take you to Stratford or as far as Oxford Circus.
However, we had 3 issues with the house. First, the house is in Forest Gate, east of Stratford, quite far from central London, and although there are good public transport links, it generally takes an hour or more to reach most of the tourist destinations -- for example, the bus to Oxford Circus takes 1-1/4 hours -- and often requires 2 changes.
Second, because the hot water heater is located in the adjoining house, the shower/sink temperature is erratic.
The third disappointment was with the backyard. Where possible we try to book Airbnb apartments with an outdoor space, particularly in warm weather, as we prefer to eat outside when we can. Unfortunately, the back yard, which is shared with the adjoining house, is unsightly, and there are no table and chairs. This is unfortunate, since with a little effort and expense, it could be a pleasant area for guests to enjoy.
