We stayed with Lisa whilst completing a week long course at Lee Valley, which was a very convenient pootle up the River Lea from Homerton, although next time I think we will definitely bring bikes! There were great parks close by for runs including Hackney Marshes and Wick Woodland and easy access to the overground line to check out other areas of North London. Lisa's space was just as described and served all our purposes well for the time we stayed.
