We stayed in this apartment for two months. Marcel was a fantastic host and responded to any questions and the one small issue that arose very quickly.
The flat is a fifteen minute walk to a train station that is well connected to London and there are buses 2 minutes from the door.
It is pretty far out of London, we had our 2 year old with us and it is a long way in with her but fine for a couple.
There are 2 huge malls a 25 minute walk into croydon and lots of places to eat.
The kebab shop and Caribbean take aways were really nice and there is a greggs up the road if you need a coffee.
Overall we would recommend this place and it is really well priced for london.
