We really enjoyed our stay in Simon’s second floor flat. The accommodation was very clean, the shower hot, the bed and two sofas comfortable, the facilities all working and in good order. This was the first time we have stayed in a host’s home, very pleased to find there was enough floor space for our bags and a couple of suitcases in the bedroom and some hanging space on a rail. The kitchen is a good size and is well equipped, we found a bottle of wine on our arrival and a pint of milk and loaf of bread were delivered to the front door for us on the third day. This apartment is on the top floor of a Victorian detached house in a leafy residential area near the Royal Park, just half a mile level walk or bus ride from Blackheath Standard with its range of local shops (pharmacy, DIY, M and S Simply Food etc). 12 mins from walk up a steep hill. As we drove there a visitor’s parking permit was provided for us and we parked outside the property. Don’t let the state of the entrance and stairs worry you as it did us when we arrived, once inside the flat everywhere was clean and tidy. Highly recommended.
