Gary and Irina were FANTASTIC at communication. My friends and I were able to check in early, which was obviously nice. The place was very clean and had all the things needed. The shower is worth the trip it self! The apartment is in a nice quiet area. It is about a 15 min walk to the train and the bus is right outside the apartment building. There is also a ton of things to do in east croydon. BOXPARK is a must visit. There are also some shops and bars in the area.
