I stayed at Sevdal's place in my first weeks of arriving in London. Her and her family were extremely accommodating and welcoming. I really appreciated how kind they were in this period of transition for me moving to London. The room itself is spacious and you'll have access to your own bathroom and kitchenette. The location is 8 mins walk from Forest Gate station and about 45 mins trip to Oxford Circus. I would definitely recommend this to anyone :)
