A paradise of pastel and peace close to the percolating center!
I rented the room opposite of the street for a week, and it was lovely.
The host, Samantha, is a charming woman that understands how to provide her guests with peace, quiet and freedom.
Her house is located just a short 5 minute walk from Norwood Junction, which, using the Thameslink, connects to London center in a matter of about 25 minutes!
There is a Sainsbury's Express supermarket just under the house, which has anything and everything you might need.
Sam offers a wash and dry service, and there are alternative options nearby as well.
Ever the thoughtful host, during the middle of my 1-week stay, Samantha provided a "care pack" full of necessities, such as paper towels, disposable cups and silverware and even some food for the next breakfast! What a lovely gesture!
The room comes with a work corner, USB outlets in the walls and an electric outlet close to the bed (to my European friends - remember! it's a UK outlet!).
Furthermore, there is a mini fridge and a small and very useful(!) electric kettle, with which you can make your own porridge breakfast (Tesco and Sainsbury's sell them), tea and coffee.
The shower and toilet seems brand new and the water temp. control is modern, unlike most UK households, where there are two separate taps - a very appreciated feature! :)
Samantha was available during practically any hour of the day for any question, and responded quickly and to the point.
