Enjoyed our 6 night stay at Pam's place. Felt right at home. Had everything you needed plus a few extras which was nice. It is up three flights of stairs but this wasn't a big deal to us even after a few long days out. Yes, you can hear the train coming by at the very close train station but, again, this wasn't a big deal to us considering how convenient it was to get to Penge West or Penge East stations into the city. It turned into background noise after the first day. Would definitely stay next time we're visiting!
