What a find! Myself and my husband were so glad to have booked here to stay, as it was the perfect home-from-home and gave us the privacy we were looking for.
We were made to feel really at home there, Katja and her husband were so kind to us and took the trouble to make sure there was nothing more they could do to make our stay more comfortable. They were chatty and welcoming when we did cross paths. The flat itself is split-level with an entrance at the back of the house through a large conservatory (shared with the owners). Off the conservatory is a very pleasant and well equiped kitchen with a dining table (for the sole use of those staying in the appartment, and nice and private). Then upstairs is a spacious double room with an en-suite. The flat is furnished to a high standard and is very comfortable & warm (we stayed a week in bitter January so I was pleased it was cosy!).
We picked this originally as it's only 5 minutes walk to Sydenham Station, which has such great links into London Bridge (train only 20 mins) and London Victoria (25 mins) where both my husband and I needed to get to that week. It also has the Overground which opens up many more travel links. For being so close to central London it has a nice green leafy feel to it, and is very close to Crystal Palace park which has lots to offer including the famous dinosaurs, which were the Victorians' answer to Jurassic Park.
All in all we couldn't recommend Katja's self-contained appartment enough and if we're ever in the area again we will be sure to book to stay here.
