Yvonne was very kind, caring and accommodating to me and my friend during our stay. Diamie, who also lives in the house, is lovely and friendly and Louis the dog is sweet, excitable and always keen to show off his toys to anyone willing play with him. We felt very much that we were being welcomed into Yvonne’s home like family.
The room itself is bright, spacious and homey and the stash of refreshments was a bonus! The desk in the room is small but there’s space for a laptop etc if you need to work. The bathroom is shared with the rest of the household but is a consistently clean, bright, pleasant space.
It’s fairly easy to travel between Yvonne’s house and central London by train or bus. Be aware that there’s a bit of a hill to get from West Norwood station to Yvonne’s place, but the view - especially at sunrise - is beautiful! There is a good choice of small supermarkets and shops a short walk away and nearby Streatham Common is great for leafy walks.
Thank you so much, Yvonne!
