Staying at Gary's place was a good experience. He sent out an email explaining everything ahead of time and also had a detailed folder waiting in the room. One great thing about the place is public transportation was very close and great. There is a bus stop pretty much right outside the door which helped after those long days walking around London. There was an ease getting to East Croydon Station where there was great transportation to bring you to where you'd like to go. Some important things. Some of the major tourist locations you would like to go to could take up to an hour or more to get to with the train, tube, etc., so plan accordingly. After a long day in central London, there is a great place for a late evening meal at BoxPark with lots of choices for dinner. In regards to the place, if you are having 2 people stay and you'd like separate beds, it would probably be best to notify Gary ahead of time. It was an easy fix as we were just dropping off our stuff so that we could go to our first experience. Also, something to note, there is no lift as it is an old Victorian home and the flat is on the top floor, or 3rd floor for Americans. Walking up those floors after spending a whole day walking in London at times was a feat! Overall, we had a good experience and would recommend anyone to book with Gary.
