Melanie’s apartment was beautifully decorated, and smelled great too. It felt authentic and lived in, which is the charm of staying in an AirBnB over a hotel.
The neighbourhood was nice, with a Sainbury’s, Starbucks and pub right downstairs. The train station was just next door as well, though I would recommend checking the train schedule before leaving the apartment, as the Southeastern doesn’t run as frequently as the underground trains.
Just take note the listing mentions a private bathroom, but it’s actually a shared bathroom. Though Melanie was very accommodating and I didn’t even realise until the 2nd or 3rd night that she was using it as well.
She was friendly and open to chatting with me about my trip, it really felt like you were staying at a less intrusive friend’s place, in the best way possible. Overall, had a lovely stay in a spacious room, and would stay here again!
