Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Charlotte Coulson
I’m a local Wanstead host who’s passionate about creating warm, welcoming spaces that feel like a home rather than just a place to stay. I live and work in the area and genuinely love the village feel Wanstead offers – from its independent cafés and restaurants to the green spaces and friendly community.
I enjoy hosting because I take pride in the little details that make a stay special, whether that’s thoughtful touches in the apartment, being on hand to help, or sharing local recommendations so guests can experience Wanstead like a local. My aim is always to make sure guests feel comfortable, relaxed and well looked after from the moment they arrive until the day they leave.

Why they chose this property
Wansteadoffers the best of both worlds – a peaceful, village-style atmosphere with outstanding connections into Central London. It has a real sense of community, beautiful green spaces and a high street full of independent cafés, restaurants and shops, all just moments from the doorstep.
What I enjoy most about the area is how relaxed and welcoming it feels. You can start the day with a walk in Epping Forest or Wanstead Park, enjoy brunch at a local café, and still be in the heart of London within 20–30 minutes on the Central Line.
It’s a safe, family-friendly area that feels calm and spacious, yet vibrant and full of character, which is exactly why guests love staying here.

What makes this property unique
What makes this property truly unique is the way it combines character, comfort and location. Set within a beautiful Georgian conversion once owned by Charles Dickens, it offers a sense of history and charm that you simply don’t find in most London apartments, while still being fully refurbished with modern finishes and thoughtful touches throughout.
The private terrace is a real rarity for a central London stay, giving guests their own outdoor space to relax and unwind. Inside, features such as underfloor heating, Smart TVs in both the living space and bathroom, high-quality bedding and a fully equipped kitchen elevate the experience beyond a typical short-term let. Added to this is its prime Wanstead Village location, off-street parking and a genuinely hands-on local host, making it a comfortable, stylish and memorable place to stay.
