Tricia is an amazing and a warm host. She was there personally to welcome and show around the house explaining everything. I must say the offered room was super tidy with a host of amenities. She provided fresh linen and there's a heater in the room too. There's a fairly large cupboard in the room. Tricia provides acces to her kitchen and one can cook a meal with all the basics available. The bathroom was clean and hot water available round the clock.
Location wise, her home is less than 10-min walk from Thornton Heath rail station. So the travel to central London is just under an hour. There are restaurants near by, open till 11pm and one can eat from a choice of cuisines.
Loved my stay at Tricia's place and must say I got a sound sleep in the comfort of her room.
To summarise, it's a home away from home.
