Studio 8 was exactly as advertised and had everything we needed for a very comfortable 4 night stay. We never met the host and didn’t need to as the instructions for finding the place from the station, check in and check out were all very clear and easy to follow. We were able to walk to East Croydon station in 10-15 minutes, or catch the bus from across the road, then the train was an easy 20 minutes in to central London. This was a great place to base ourselves for 3 days of exploring London. We would definitely stay here again.
