Allan is very welcoming and helpful. He provided us with a very detailed explanation on how to reach Ladywell, a quiet little place near Lewisham. Keys were available in a safe and Allan didn't mind us dropping our bags well before normal check-in time. Be sure to talk to him, as he has some great advice on both major and some lesser-known London attractions. Trains to and from Ladywell run often and the trip takes you about 15 minutes from Charing Cross.
The room was very clean with a comfortable and warm bed. The bathroom is well-equipped and shared with the other room. The shower can get very hot, though! A kettle and tea are provided in the room, but you can also use the main kitchen. Allan provides a basic breakfast as well, including some of his home-made jams.
We really enjoyed staying with Allan and hope you will too.
