This is a must stay place if you are ok with a bit of a commute (usually about 35 mins) into London centre. We stayed a week - great value! And we liked that we could escape the craziness of London. Loved the apartment (very stylish and comfortable) and Melinda and Jon were great hosts who provided all kinds of extra amenities (coffee, tea, milk and bread for arrival). Crystal Palace is safe, clean and very interesting in its own right with wonderful restaurants. Highly recommend!
