My experience staying in Mirjam's home was outstanding. She is a warm, friendly, and accomodating host, and was kind enough to offer laundry help. Her home is very clean and tidy, and she told me to treat it as my own home. She was also extremely helpful in telling me all about the local sights and shops. Getting around London from Mirjam's home is easy: you can walk to the Tube/bus station (Walthamstow Central) in about 10-12 minutes, or you can walk 3-4 minutes to local bus stops.
Her family was kind and friendly, and Biscuit the cat is very sweet and easy-going.
I hope to stay with Mirjam and her family again in future; I almost can't imagine staying anywhere else!
