A more affordable flat, for a family, cannot be found in SE London. And the host is wonderful!
The flat certainly has some issues but those have to be viewed within the context of the price, which is very low, indeed.
The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen very functional. Also, the ad said there was no TV, but then there was a TV, so that was a nice bonus.
Some issues - if it's warm outside, the flat becomes pretty uncomfortable. Kudos to the host for dropping off fans asap.
The living room/ dining room is small, and the "sofa" was so uncomfortable and squeaky that even my children wouldn't use it. but then again, at least there was a TV!
Not having internet is a bigger deal than I expected. Maybe that one's on me for not setting my own expectations well.
There are a number of little issues like carpets or floor boards in slight disrepair.
The location works for us because we have a family member nearby. But if you're just a tourist visiting London for the first time, it's quite a trek to the train station and then another half hour into central London.
But, again, all this has to be viewed in the context of the price - which is unbeatable!
If you need an affordable spot in SE, definitely go for this place :)
