House in London, Great Britain
Currently arranged with a master bedroom (Double), a double guestroom (sofabed) and 2 kids rooms.
The house backs onto the Hertford Union canal (you can use my little rowing boat if you like) and is a stones throw from Victoria Park which is a lovely large green space with lots of playground facilities for kids, a boating lake, a skate bowl, lakes, coffee shops etc.
Excellent base to explore London. Easy to get to from all airports but if you can land at London City (LCY) that is only a ten minute taxi ride away.
Lots of nice restaurants nearby, or go somewhere really special in the centre and then Uber home for around £15.
Buses run from the end of the road to Oxford street (roughly 45 mins depending on traffic) or 15 mins walk to Bethnal Green tube (central line, from this station almost all of London is less than 30 mins).

About the neighborhood
We live next to Victoria park which is large and beautiful, a very pleasant place for a walk, run or rollerblade whichever is your thing. There are 2 large playgrounds, a skatepark, a boating lake with rowboats for hire, a bandstand, a pagoda and lots of nice things to see. There is a nice cafe in the park where you can enjoy a coffee and cake whilst watching the fountain, swans, ducks and passers by.
There are some really excellent places to eat nearby, really too many to list but highlights include Bacaro (Italian) which is just 2 mins walk, The Morpeth (cosy pub that does sourdough Pizza's) also about 2 mins. If you walk a little further there is The Crown, The Empress of India, the Fish House, Vu-Viet.
Nearest Airport: London City Airport (LCY)

Lovely flat, even better than the pictures. Great location, can literally walk to all the interesting places in the city. Host family were really helpful and always quick to respond.
Communication was easy and precise. The house is wonderful and well-equipped and the surroundings are spectacular, with a canal which you can enjoy from the garden. Public transport and pubs nearby. Definitely a great exchange.
Superb!
Lovely flat in a great location - very handy for ski areas
