Even though I didn't get to meet Nicholas, as I was usually up early and back late, I felt welcome. Lines of communication were excellent and Nicholas was always quick to respond to any queries I had.
My room was clean and spacious with a comfortable bed. The mini fridge was a nice touch and came in handy. The bathroom was also very clean.
Location was great as it's less than 5min walk to Thornton Heath station. Check in and check out were extremely easy.
I would definitely recommend Nicholas's place.
