Ilgi's house is a very pleasant place to stay. Thank you to Ilgi and her husband for their kind hospitality. It's a lovely house with some ornate décor, impressive paintings and an unexpectedly large bathroom with an Oriental touch. I found the bed comfortable. The kitchen and front room is also tastefully decorated. The location is ideal, in a pleasant residential area of East London. It's a fact that Wanstead has long been considered a sought-after area. (I spent many years living in an area close to here.) The house is a few minutes walk away from Wanstead High Street with its wide variety of shops and restaurants, including Tesco Supermarket, Provender French Restaurant and a well-known Turkish restaurant. Overseas visitors may be interested in the cosy Nightingale Pub, a typical London neighbourhood pub only a minute's walk away. The house is located 5-10 minutes walk away from both Snaresbrook and Wanstead Underground Stations on the Central Line. Central London is not as far away as it appears on the Tube map. All in all a very good deal !
