We enjoyed our stay at Stephens home. Nice and quiet sleep at night and it's 10 minute walk to forest gate station and to supermarkets and restaurants.
The only things I think people should be aware of are below:
Tooth brushes not provided : this was not an issue for us as we brought our own
Shampoo not provided : again not an issue for us as we brought our own.
You can do laundry with the provided washing machine but you'll need to get detergent: not an issue for us because we didn't have to do any washing.
Shower, the bathroom shower can require some patience to get the temperature correct, for me it wasn't a big issue but my girlfriend spent half an hour trying to get the temperature right , in that case I think it was a problem with her rather than the shower :D :D.
In summary I think Stephens house is a affordable and nice stay. The house is a little far from the centre but I think you are getting good value for money. Stephen provides a good and very professional service as well. The house is packed with pretty much everything you need to sleep shower and eat - I was pretty surprised. For more details on what you get in the house, see below.
The house has most amenities you would require: shower gel, towels, hair dryer, coat hangers, a drawer , laundry bag, tv in bed room with remote (the tv is wall mounted and isn't connected to anything but it wasn't an issue for us as I brought my Kindle fire tv, make sure to use the power extension though as the tv cable isn't long enough ). Kitchen amenities has pretty much everything you need - you just need to buy ingredients from the local supermarket , this includes: working stove , microwave , cutlery, plates , bowls , pots and pans , salt and pepper, fridge/freezer and washing machine.
