Overall we had a great stay and found the place to be terrific value for money. The room was big with plenty of storage. The bathroom is right next to the room and for most of our stay we had it to ourselves.
The house is roughly 15 minutes walk to both Leytonstone and Wanstead underground stations. You have to walk through a woodland to Leytonstone which didn't feel too safe after dark (although there are some lights). The biggest downside to the location is that there isn't a convenience store nearby and you've got to go to the area around the tube stations to find one.
There is a bus stop at the end of the road ( 2 minutes) which goes towards Stratford and Wanstead which was useful.
The dog is small and friendly and only makes noise when he goes out for walks in the morning.
