I would like to start the review with the most important thing about Sylwia's flat: the people/personality. Since Sylwia was on vacation herself when we stayed at her flat, we got to know Linda how took care of check-in, check-out and all the communication upfront and after we left. What else is there to say than "thank you so much Linda". It was a great pleasure to chat with you when we met, and even when we were back in Germany. You gave this place such a lovely and hearty touch so we have to thank you first.
The flat was as good looking as the pictures indicated. It is very light with big windows and lots of light colors and plants. As someone who has a lot of pets and plants ourselves, we really appreciated it and instantly felt at home. The flat was absolutely clean and in a perfect condition. We had more than enough space to sleep, having breakfast together and making plans for the day. Wifi worked instantly although we didn't use it so much on our mobile devices (thanks to EU roaming) but for our laptop. The bed was big enough for two people and again very clean and cosy.
The bathroom was great (and again, perfectly clean and organised). We got instructions on how to turn on the central heating (since it was already turned off for the summer season), since the first 2 days were rather chilly.
The kitchen had everything we asked for (including washing machine / dryer), although we decided to not take any of Sylwias food and bought everything for ourselves in one of the local stores.
Since the flat is located in Greater London (TFL zone 4), we had approx. 30 min travel time to London Bridge hub (10 min walk to Norwood Junction, 15 min travel time by train) which was absolutely o.k. for us.
We can't say much about the neighbours of the flat since we never met them. It was a very quiet house with no disturbing noise at any given time.
Finally, we have to thank the hosts again for making our trip to London such a great experience. If we come back to London (and I'm sure we will), we would be more than happy to stay at Slywia's flat again.
For this flat it is very easy to recommend it to anyone planning to stay a few nights in London. I'm sure you won't regret it but enjoy it every day.
All the best and lovely greetings from Germany.
