Annette's place is beautiful, very clean and newly renovated. Even though you are staying in a room in their house, there is plenty of privacy and we were able to come and go as we pleased without feeling like we were intruding. It is located a little bit out of the city but we weren't particularly bothered by this. The trains came fairly frequently and we were never out past their ending time. My only suggestion is that if you are travelling via Kings Cross or St Pancras International, I would catch the Thameslink to Catford station and take an Uber or Taxi to Annette's (it's just down the road). It was much easier for us to as it was more direct and we had lots of luggage. There also weren't a lot of food places immediately at our door but we used UberEats a fair bit or ate in the city. Both were excellent options for us but I'm fairly certain there were more food options within walking distance if you desired. Whilst dogs make me nervous, we didn't have any issues with any of their lovely pets and they mostly kept to themselves. Overall, it was a really pleasant stay and it was really nice to see a bit more of the suburban lifestyle of London.
