If I could rate this place 6 out of 5 stars I would!
Reba is a fantastic host who went above and beyond to make my stay so nice !
Do read the description- this is a small room in a family home in Sydenham/ Crystal Palace.
It was perfect for me because it was close to the national rail and overground, as well as buses. Easily get to central London in less than 45 mins!
There’s supermarkets and eateries close by, and Reba allows you to use her very nice spacious kitchen! The family does keep halal, so do try to be mindful of that when you stay. As the ad states, NO pork or alcohol!
The Crystal Palace dinosaurs are also a fun free attraction that is a short walk.
Reba also allowed me to do some laundry and helped me through the process, which was so kind!
She was also there to meet me at check-in and the process was very smooth!
Some notes:
- your room does not have WiFi. Reba allowed me to do my remote work from her dining room which has fast WiFi, and the family gave me lots of space and quiet to do my work. However as the ad clearly states, the grandkids do come visit during school holidays! My phones internet was spotty and I wasn’t able to make WhatsApp calls from the room, had t take walks outside to call my family.
-this place is INCREDIBLE value. I stayed in some other places in London before and spoke to friends about their experiences. Reba keeps the whole house very clean she’s working constantly to keep it clean and comfortable. The bed was also very comfortable and the blanket is magic I think— it kept me so warm!
- the front door locks behind you when you close it! No need to worry about making sure it’s locked.
Overall, this is by far the best value / quality Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at and could ever dream of staying at in London! Thank you so much Reba!
