Excellent guidance by Mike to get to his place : got a detailed email with the itinerary (trains from Gatwick Airport and bus routes with the bus stop in front of his flat).
Key could be obtained from the charming neighbour Carol as he had to work.
Good positioned place (Camberwell) to get to the center of London - 5 or more bus routes with a very high frequency. I would recommend to take the bus : you get to see a lot more ;-)
The flat itself : a lot of light and spacious. As Mike is a very tidy person I immediately felt at home.
Meeting him in the evening was a real pleasure : very communicating, easy going and gentle.
He really makes an effort : discover the 'black book' in your bedroom containing all his inside tips how to make the most of your stay considering eating out and exquisite places to see.
As he left early for work I really had the feeling of having the flat to myself - not that I would bother if he stayed around. Mike makes you feel at ease : no big words, no fuss, just general politeness towards one another.
Keep the Golden Rule in mind and you will get a long way : 'Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself'.
That also includes other's property : respect the owner's wishes.

The bedroom : comfy mattress (I have a bad back so I should know), clean linen, lots of wardrobe and cupboard space. There 's even a drying rack at your disposition.
Bathroom : convenient and clean. Kitchen : everything you have at home.

I would HIGHLY recommend Mike's place : excellent operating base, very clean and away from the rushing center.
And on top it (no not ON the flat LOL) the very sympathetic Mike.
