I stayed in both apartments and found it comfortable and convenient. While the neighbourhood is a bit run down, there were no safety concerns, I had no noise/traffic issues at night to get a sleep and there is a Co-Op supermarket about 5 minutes walk away with East Croydon shops and railway station a further 10 minutes walk. Kitchen and bathroom facilities were fine, although I had trouble with TV reception in 08 room. The laundry out the back is cheap and adequate although time consuming waiting for the wash cycle. The beauty of the accommodation for me was that I had the entire studio to myself for my stay which is exactly what I was looking for. Gary was away during the time I was there but it is very reasonably priced for an extended stay in London. Thanks Gary.
