Lesley made me feel welcome throughout my stay by enquiring as to my needs, for example: was I warm enough; did I need some help in finding my way around the locality; suggesting places of interest and local cafes; offering me tea; making sure I knew where everything was in the kitchen; encouraging me to have a cooked breakfast if I wanted one; making my daughter feel welcome when she visited; ensuring I was happy with having her dog around me ( I was ).
The room and bed were comfortable, spacious and close to the bathroom. There were no restrictions on the use of the bathroom, other than the usual courtesies extended to people sharing a house.
Lesley`s flat is very near to bus stops from Mile End and Bethnal Green tubes, the latter being a very pleasant 15 minute walk through Victoria Park, which is itself only three minutes from the house. The Regent`s Canal runs along one side of the Park, adding to the charm of the area.
