Adelaide's place was a great airbnb close-ish (30 mins?) to the Gatwick airport. She is very kind and offered us cookies, coffee, and other treats. The neighborhood is close to 'downtown' Croydon and pretty quiet. There is another room that may be rented out to other airbnb guests and you have to share a bathroom/shower, but that wasn't a big deal. Not very close to London city center but that didn't matter for us since we were on our way out.
