Johns place is amazing. Great views of West Ham Stadium, feeding the swans from the window each morning. The floor to wall windows, morning sunrises were beautiful. The floor heating is fantastic, I was so worried about going to London in the winter as we come from Australia which is such a warm climate, but Johns place was really comfortable and warm. Exceptional storage for the 5 of us, everyone had drawers to put there things and I could hang up the clothes that needed hanging. So many towels which was so good especially for the girls. Washer and dryer (Bosch) was top quality and a god sent. 2 large bedrooms best beds one bedroom with ensuite. So good to have 2 bathrooms, plenty of mirrors great curved tv. The fridge and freezer are plenty big enough, microwave, dishwasher plenty of cutlery. Johns place is quirky, I would have liked the dining table where it was in the photo so it just frees up a bit more room in the kitchen area, in saying that John kindly offered my daughter a fold out bed so that cramped it a little bit. Westfield Straford is walking distance and attached to Stratford Station which connects you to most of the lines in London. You never waited long for a train, plenty of the red buses if you are familiar with how to use them. John responded to all messages and emails. Johns place was very clean. My family had a hard time getting to London and John was very patient with me and went above and beyond in helping my family get to London. Would highly recommend Johns place especially for families.
