Giuseppe is a nice host (and so is his dog Daisy!), I had a nice stay at his place. The room is very small so keep this in mind if you're travelling with several pieces of luggage as you might find yourself trapped inside it. Quite quiet during the night, had no problem sleeping. 15 mins on foot from Thornton Heath station, from which you can catch a 25-minutes train to London Victoria for approx 5-6 pounds.
