I highly recommend Kai’s place. His flat is in a quiet neighborhood by Goldsmith University. It’s a really safe 10-15mins walk along the school route to the New Cross Gate Overground Station. It can take anywhere from 35-45mins by train to central London. Along the same route, there are plenty of fun shops, cafes, restaurants, bars, and grocery stores. Now to the room. I recommend selecting the room with the en-suite bathroom if you are staying long. It’s really nice having your own bathroom when the common shared bathroom can sometimes be used by 5-6 other people living in the flat. My room was spacious with a lovely view of the backyard. I would wake up to sweet birds chirping. The bed is a bit springy so using pillows helped with better support. The hosts Kai and Wendy are so kind and gracious. They provided me with a free SIM card, extra blanket, and picnic blanket upon request. They are also very active communicators. WiFi is fast. Shared kitchen is great. Each room get their own cabinet and fridge space. There was also a rice cooker which I appreciated :). House rules are strict but I believe these help keep this shared space orderly! I would definitely stay at Kai’s place again in the future!
