I had a great time at Sally's place. It features all the little things that make a traveller happy: washing machine, shelves with great books about the area, well stocked cupboards so you don't need to buy things like olive oil, salt and pepper, plenty of space for your things. The room has its own unique feel, I particularly liked the yellow tiles in the bathroom, and all the little details suggest an aesthetic awareness. The expansive and grassy Wanstead Flats are just over the road, which connect with Epping Forest. It's enough to get lost in on a long run. The room is right on the street at ground level, but it was quiet and dark enough at night to get a good kip in. Sally very kindly offered the use of her garden and the cherries in her cherry tree, I rue not taking her up on the offer. I didn't have any issues getting to the various places I needed to be across London and travelled into the city or thereabouts at least once each day.
