I am so happy to have found and chosen to stay at Doretta's flat in Walthamstow. What a great place to experience London from, with easy connections to the center city via the Victoria line tube as well as the Overground train from Walthamstow Central Station.
And then there is the charm of Walthamstow itself. The generous two bedroom flat, part of a beautiful and historic development of terraced homes, is just steps away from Lloyd Park with its expansive green spaces full of lovely flowers and birds as well as two cafés and a museum in the listed family home of legendary Arts and Crafts designer William Morris. In short, Walthamstow offers both convenient connections to the bustling city of London as well as a calming respite from it.
As well as generously sized, the flat itself has a full kitchen, freshly painted white walls throughout, and is stylishly furnished and set up with all that one will need, without any clutter of unnecessary or personal items. These qualities, along with the spotless condition I found it in, made this space absolutely perfect for my week-long visit.
And I can't forget what is perhaps my favorite amenity: a sun-drenched immaculate private garden just outside the back door. While the garden is shared with the upper flat, I had it entirely to myself during my stay. The quiet solitude and relaxation it afforded was the perfect tonic for the hustle and bustle of London.
Although I didn't want for anything during my stay, Doretta stayed in touch throughout to ensure that all my needs were being met.
I really can't recommend this accommodation highly enough. It will be the first place I check on all of my future visits to London.
