Dorothy and her son were extremely helpful and hospitable. After some minor issues with the check in process (host did not answer door until about 1.5 hours from scheduled time)... everything was quickly solved and our stay was smooth. Barely saw the host the last few days of our stay. Very quiet neighborhood. 20 mins walking to East Croydon station with a 5 pound, 25 minute train that takes you straight to London. Great value for money. She even left out water, coffee, and tube maps for us. Thanks Dorothy.
