HOUSE: Our 5 bedroom Victorian house is in based in Upper Leytonstone next to the Olympic village (2 stops to Olympic village and Stratford International - high speed rail links) on the Central line (Leytonstone station). Street name is Colworth Road post code/zip code E11 1HY. This is a no smoking/no pets house. The Olympic village is now open for tours.
We are a little bit higher on the road on google maps ie closer to the tube to access Central London.
Solid Oak floors throughout the house. Enjoy our high speed wi-fi, 42" widescreen and a freeview recorder to access dozens of tv channels. We are next to Epping Forest (6000 acres) so if you enjoy rambling/orienteering or running this is a must. Hollow pond is located here also where there is a seating area for people.
We have a huge designer Grohe bathroom with porcelain tiles, a walk in shower (twin heads). Or, after a hard days sightseeing you can spoil yourself by having a soak in our free standing bath/soak tub which fits 2 people V comfortable. Alternatively, if you just fancy a days rest stay in and use the living room watch tv/surf the net. Please note that we the hosts have our own bathroom.
ROOM: This double room has 1 double bed in it and accommodates 2 people MAX. Egyptian cotton linen and towels. Please note that these are private rooms. This room has blackout curtains. The HOUSE can accommodate 6 guests (this is the maximum we would want in the house since everyone's comfort levels is our concern) over 3 rooms.
We are more like a house share and not a B&B or a hotel.
