The house was easy to find, just of the A10. I drove and wanted a parking space. There was no dedicated space but plenty of free on street parking in the area. The house had good facilities for the price and there were a few local shops. Just a short drive away are larger supermarkets, shops and a cinema.
To get into London, the best route was the 217 or 231 bus (about 8 services an hour) to Turnpike Lane, then the tube into the city. It takes around 45 mins. I used a 1-5 zone Oyster travelcard during my stay. There is a train station near too but this is 9 mins walk and the services are about 3 per hour. The room was good and I used the mini desk to use my laptop. The family were busy most of the time so I did not see them much. The dog was there and friendly so if you are happy around dogs you will be ok.
