I really enjoyed staying at Chris's place. It is in a quiet neighborhood just 10 minutes by train to Croydon. I only had a night so I didn't go to Central London, but there is a direct train as well. The train is only a two minute walk from the place which was very convenient. And it only took about 30 minutes to get to Gatwick airport.
The room is large and spacious and tastefully decorated. The bed was very comfortable.
Chris greeted me upon check in and was very kind throughout my stay. He was quick to reply to my messages.
I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in London.
