My daughter and I took significant rests from the wilds of London in this relaxing, stress-free accommodation offered by Tania and Michael. Thoughtfulness from the moment we approached the door—there was a personalized “welcome” sign that warmly welcomed us to the place where we would stay the next three nights.
Inside, it was a cozy 21 degrees (Celsius). Each room was spacious. The hallways had smart lights that would switch on in the middle of the night guiding you to the WC. The kitchen had all you needed to enjoy a few home-cooked meals, if you chose to eat in. There were dozens of choices to eat out in the nearby Crystal Palace “triangle” block of eateries. Public transportation in the neighborhood is plentiful. Easy walks to three different train stations (Crystal Palace, Gipsy Hill, Sydenham).
The house and grounds are gorgeous. There is a large backyard, though the winter-like weather encouraged us to stay inside. Tania is a wonderful host. She invites you for afternoon tea if you’re so inclined. I enjoyed a nice chat with her and look forward to staying here again next year when I return with my son (whose turn it will be for a trip to London). I could go on and on, but you should have already gotten the hint that this accommodation is quality through and through. Cheers, Tania and Michael!
