Karen is a brilliant host, helpful, friendly & accommodating. Her house is a beautiful spacious Victorian/Edwardian property on a very quiet road, the room I stayed in sleeps three (if needed) but IS a private room - as I requested.
It's a five minute walk to Norbury Station and Streatham Station.
The location was perfect for me as I could get a train direct to London Bridge (The Shard) from both the above stations and it took no longer than 30 minutes. If you're coming from abroad please bare in mind that this time scale to reach destinations in London is considered very good - considering the size of the city. Make sure you do not underestimate how big London is!
Karen provided breakfast in the morning - tea, coffee, toast and cereals etc.. I was free to help myself and there were no time restoration on breakfast or coming in at night.
The area is nice, I always felt safe walking around plus there are some great bars and places to eat in Streatham if you do your research but I will definitely recommend Hideaway - Jazz & Blues Cafe at Streatham Station.
Karen made my whole stay very pleasant and convenient, I would most definitely recommend her and hope to stay again when I'm in the city.
