This was a fabulous stay! Sid's communication was excellent from start to finish, and the place is exactly as pictured -- incredibly clean, roomy and comfortable.
The shower has good pressure and heat. The bed is firm which, for me, was fine for a shorter stay as I tend to prefer a softer bed, but this may be perfect for you. There is good internet speed and, though located at the front, ground floor of the building, the flat is quiet without street noise interrupting sleep (and I tend to be a light sleeper). The working desk, with its raised screen stand, is excellent and the view looking onto the street is lovely, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors even if you're stuck indoors working as I was for a while.
The location is brilliant -- a short walk to the tube station made arrival and departure easy, and travel into the city was simple. This was my first time in Walthamstowe and I wish I'd discovered it sooner, with its eclectic mix of restaurants, cafes and bars.
Sid's place is a very short stroll from historic Walthamstowe Village, home to some lovely cafes, restaurants, shops as well as a pub and bakery. There are also microbreweries and Mother's Ruin Gin Palace nearby. Strolling around the Village, you'll discover quaint streets, mosaics, the picturesque St Mary's Church and the vibrant neon signs within God's Own Junkyard.
I'd definitely stay at Sid's again -- there's much more to discover in the neighbourhood and I only wish my stay was longer!
