Natalie's place is well situated for most of London and has loads of great amenities, but I'm especially grateful because my request was so last minute and she made great efforts to help. I easily made it to my conference in Victoria, as it was one train from the local train station. The local restaurant she recommended, Thai Crystal, was great. I'll be back to explore Crystal Palace more when I have more time, and I'd happily stay at Natalie's again.
