Living with Host
On the top floor of our home in Leyton we have a lovely double bedroom with a private bathroom. The room is peaceful, sunny and has a large comfortable bed. It feels quite separate from the rest of the house and is a lovely place to stay.
You'll have access to our kitchen with large french doors, opening onto a very loved garden which backs on to a city farm (occasional donkey ears poking over the fence...). The garden is a good size and has two patio areas and nice places to sit.
You'll be living with us (husband and wife, Jo and Ash) and our 2 very friendly cats, Peaches and Lyra. Jo is a yoga teacher and Ash runs his own production company.
The house is a 2 minute walk from Leyton Midland Road Overground station which connects with the Victoria Line at Blackhorse Road getting you into Oxford Street and the West End in just 25mins. It is also a 15-18 minute walk (or a 5 min bus ride) from either Walthamstow (Victoria Line), Leyton or Leytonstone (both on the Central Line) underground stations.
Amenities wise, we are 2 minutes away from a Sainsbury's, a lovely coffee shop, a couple of restaurants and two yoga studios. Pedestrianised and popular Francis Road, with more cafes, restaurants and shops is just a 5 minute walk away. We are surrounded by great pubs, which are between 5 and 10 minutes away.
The beautiful wild expanse of the Hackney Marshes is just 10 minutes walk away, as is Hollow Ponds and Epping Forest. There are some smaller parks close by such as Jubilee Park, Coronation Gardens and Abbotts Park, which have tennis courts, places to sit and relax and kids playgrounds. Just 20 minutes walk away is the Olympic Park and all that it has to offer, from the swimming pool and parkland to a broad array of restaurants. If you fancy a trip to Hackney it's just a 15-minute bus ride away.
Payment is taken up front at the beginning of the stay.

I proved fresh bed linen and towels for people staying in the room, but if stay is longer than 2 weeks would ask that guests change their own bed linen. If stay is less than two weeks I will refresh the room (including changing the bed linen) at the halfway point - if requested by the guest.
The room and bathroom is cleaned fortnightly by our darling cleaner, Rosi.

Great week in Leyton. Jo and Aiden are perfect hosts. I was free to use the kitchen, hang around and chat. The room is spacious, private and spotless with a shower room next door. Easy links to whole of London and quiet. Book with confidence!
