Staying with Viv was literally perfect.
Her house is a 2 minute walk to a bus stop, catch the 314 to Elmstead Woods station or 20 mins to Bromley South Station for regular trains to London. Elmstead woods station is a 15 minute walk, surrounded by trees and the occasional fox.
Viv is a wonderful, genuine person, who made my stay very enjoyable. I had a chest of drawers, wardrobe, TV, bed and a shared bathroom which I largely got to use to myself. She played it by ear, if you want to talk she will happily chat away, but equally if you need space she respects that. I briefly met her daughter, who was just as warm and welcoming as her. I can't tell you enough how brilliant my stay was. It didn't take long for me to consider her a friend, rather than just someone I was staying with.
