This was my first Airbnb stay and while I was very hesitant and anxious about staying in someone's home I could not have been happier for it to have been with Jocelyn and Linda. The pair of them were genuinely kind and accommodating.
We got a set of keys. One for our room and one for the front door so we were able to come and go as we pleased. Linda set a cute table for breakfast every morning with juice, fruit, toast, and cereal. The house is very clean and the rooms are comfortable.
Location wise, the house is close to shops and markets with a train station just 3 mins walking distance away with trains every 10 mins or so to London (15-30 min ride). When returning from London you can hop on a bus from the East Croydon station and take a short bus ride back to the house that will drop you off down the street.
It's a nice area with a park/pond around the block should you like to go out for a walk.
All in all, it was very pleasant and very convenient.
