Spent a week at Alex's house and I cannot say enough nice things about the experience, although I'll try. The room was bright and the bed was so comfy, it was the perfect base for a visit back to the area visiting friends and family. Alex was easily contactable throughout the process and despite being oeverseas when we arrived, still made the process smooth for gaining entry. We had the room with private shower across the hallway but no issue whatsoever.
Located about ten minutes walk to Beckenham Junction train station, lots of great cafes and Kelsey Park is just down the road, you really will have a lovely time if you use this as a base. Would happily stay here again should I visit from Sydney in the future.
