Julie and her partner’s flat was what we needed for our short stay in England. Julie was very accommodating and let us check in our bags and stored them a few hours before check in, which we greatly appreciated. Julie’s place is a 3 minute walk to the train station (New Cross Gate) and conveniently has a grocery store nearby (Sainsbury). For those who have restricted mobility, be advised there is a fairly steep hill to climb. The room was a decent sized and the bed was very comfortable.
Pros:
* Close to train station & grocery store
* In a quiet neighbourhood away from tourists
* Host was very accommodating and friendly
Cons:
* The room was very cold at night and since it was in the basement it was a little damp
* Upstairs noise was a bit loud in the early mornings which woke up us a few times (understandable) & residence can be noisy in the garden beside the door
* Only recommend staying for a few days (2-3), would not recommend for a long period of time
We appreciated everything Julie and her partner did to accommodate us and it was great for our short stay in London. Thanks again!
