Alice is such a nice Host ! From day one I felt really comfortable and we become really good friends during my 2 months stay at her place. Her dog Buffy is really cute and lovely. I can only recommend to stay with Alice. Lewisham is a really good area. I really liked to live here. The train station and the bus stations are very close and you have a shop downstairs where you can buy food and everything you need. Sainsburys is not far away as well (10 mins walk) in the Lewisham shopping center (there you can find H&M, Primark and TKmaxx :) ). I am really happy that I met Alice and I would always decide to stay with her if im coming to London.
