I only got to meet Sally briefly just as I arrived because she was heading off for her own adventure. However, she greeted me with a hug, kind face and a cup of coffee. And, over the month, she was nice enough to send me regular messages checking in to make sure I was alright. The studio was exactly what I wanted and as advertised. It was quiet and private so that I could work but, if I needed a bit of company, Sally's house was full of other really interesting and kind guests. While gone, George helped me with simple things like directions or transport advice so I never felt abandoned. I wish I'd had more time to explore the neighborhood but from what I saw it was great. Transportation was a dream. There's a bus stop just across the street to Stratford station or a short walk to the Overground and I could be anywhere in the city quickly. Studio was cozy and well appointed so that I could cook and not have to eat out all the time. By the time I left this felt a bit like home. I would absolutely stay here again. :)
