Up a hill on a quiet street in Crystal Palace, London is a welcoming home with a lovely host family.
Communication with the owner, Marissa was superb from the start. A worrying concern due to a payment mistake was dealt with calmly, without drama and was a great indicator of the lady, herself, who met us on arrival.
The accomodation is the lower floor of the home. Three rooms and a hallway. A large double bedroom, large bedroom/lounge and bathroom with toilet and shower.
All sparkling clean and well appointed and maintained.
A stocked mini fridge, fruit bowl. Teas, coffee and breakfast selection were kindly provided.
A quiet refuge, much needed to replenish energy after the 2 day sports training event, my colleague and were there to attend.
Of particular note, is the small park, a few doors down where coming and going everyday, we got too watch a young fox or vixen sunning itself with no apparent concern at our presence.
A lovely green place to sit on a hot day.
A short walk will deliver you to shops, restaurants and public houses as well as Crystal Palace Station and bus depot.
A slightly longer one will take you to Crystal Palace Park and the Victorian dinosaur statues.
I was very pleased to have the good fortune to find Marissa and John's home for this trip as it really did add to the enjoyment of the weekend.
Thank you to them for their fine hosting.
