My stay in Cheng’s was my first Airbnb experience and I was pleasantly surprised for I was not expecting to feel so good in someone else’s place and have so nice a host.
I had a very nice stay in Cheng’s place. He was kind, helpful and advised us very well ( useful apps to download, nice places to visit & so on ). Our room was clean and the bed comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the way our towels were folded :)
Firstly, when we arrived, he greeted us with fresh beverages and when we left, he even « nursed » my friend who caught a cold by giving her a medicine to cure her sore throat. So that, the day after, she got her voice back.
A good host from start to finish !
Cheng’s place is very calm but at the same time close to the station ( 10 mins by walk ) and if you don’t fancy walking, you can take the tram then. Cheng you have not been lying to us, indeed it takes only 15 mins by train to go to the center of London from East Croydon Station. How wonderful :)
The only thing that was not very agreeable to me was the heat in our room. Indeed, because of the heat wave that stroke London during our stay, I sometimes had the impression that our room had turned into a pressure cooker ! But such a heat was kind of exceptional because usually temperatures do not go above 30° C near London. Perhaps, as you said Cheng, buying a fan would not be a bad idea just to be prepared if it should happen again.
I recommend this place to those who want to be quickly in London while enjoying a relaxing stay in good company ;)
