Being hosted by Mrs Woods family, turned out to be a really welcoming experience in a beautiful and comfortable room in Whips Cross, Whalthamstow, London.

1 - From the beginning I felt very welcome by her family to join for a dinner or to taste anything that was cooked throughout the week. There were also other guests in other rooms, to whom was really nice to have a chat with. Mrs Woods is a good cooker and is welcoming students for a long time, so there is always a chance to meet with interesting people and to taste whatever is prepared :)

2 - The pictures and description of the room are truly accurate. The room is very bright, comfortable and really spacious with a large wardrobe and extra storage space. It also contains a very and large useful desk with a smart TV.

Sometimes, the room can be a bit noisy as it is located in a main traffic street and is faced a garage repair service and there is also a hospital nearby. This is the only minus point, but if you stay with the windows closed and you get out of the room in the morning and get back at nigh, the noisy is acceptable and not a much of a nuisance.

Apart from that, the other facilities are just great. The bathroom/shower was recently renovated and is fitted with Grohe appliances combined with a head and hand shower that it is a pleasure to take a bath.

3 - The kitchen is modern and is fully equipped with everything you need and available for your entire use. Includes washing, dishing and drying machine, plus microwave, woven and fridge all from German brands.

4 - The house is situated in a exceptional multicultural environment with shops from all over the world and offering an unimaginable range of products/services nearby. Walthamstow is also known to have the biggest high street market in London. With regards the location, the house is well located and it just takes up to 10/15 minutes from the house till the nearest tube station (Walthamstow Central in Victoria Line) - there is a bus stop just outside the house.

All in all a great stay with the advantage of being in a house with other students, travelers and always up for a chat.

Thanks Mrs Woods
