John, who hosted because Peter wasn’t around was so, so lovely, accommodating, and hospitable! I loved the little room with the big windows. Waking up to the light coming in and writing at the desk in the morning and evening after long days in the city was delightful. It felt like a bit of a hike, but well worth it for the price and the feeling of having a relaxing place out of the hustle bustle of London. I wasn’t crazy about Walthamstow, but there was a cute vintage shop, TDOV on Hoe St. That I enjoyed almost as much as Brick Lane! That being said, Walthamstow IS on a great Tube line accessible to everything (Victoria Line). Highly recommend this place to anyone traveling solo or with a friend (there are 2-rooms)!
