We had a wonderful stay at James' place! The house was perfectly furnished for a family group like ours: 4 bedrooms with comfortable beds, including a master with ensuite, and one with 2 cute childrens’ beds that fit our 7 and 9 year old kids just right. The 3 full bathrooms made the morning & evening routines very convenient so that we could maximize our time out & about London. The open kitchen was very well stocked with cookware, silverware, bowls & cups: everything we needed to eat a few meals at home during our stay. And of course, having a washer AND dryer were godsends.
The area is so charming - literally a 5 minute walk to Roman Road where you can find all kinds of cuisines (Fish & Chips, Sushi, South Asian, Mom & Pop cafes, even good Bubble tea), Tesco’s, local groceries and pharmacies. We also used the bikeshare stations nearby to get to the beautiful Victoria Park, the nearby Olympic park area, and the lively Stratford area. The area is served by multiple buses as well as the Tube station within walking distance. We also really appreciated the host’s thoughtful artwork - the property is in the Bow area, and the home has some great paintings of the parks and nearby canals that really helped us feel right at home.
Check-in and check-out were both a breeze. Plus, James was super-responsive and checked-in via the App to make sure we had everything we needed.
This home is perfect if you want a place close to the heart of London and still enjoy the outdoors with local vibes. Highly recommended!
