I want to second everything in the prior three reviews - I'm really glad I had to find my way to Streatham for other reasons and so included it as a specific search.

Karen is warm and interesting and fun to chat with, and it felt far more like staying with a family friend (in a good way!) than just renting a room for a few nights.

The room is exactly as pictured, and the bed comfy. Unlike in many English households it's heated at night (which was oh so welcome.)

The cats will likely visit unless you keep the door shut. They're sweet, though.

It's a great location -- right near a bunch of amenities and a quick ride to tourist london, with a bunch of different ways to get there -- two train stations each about 10-15 min walk away (different lines) and myriad buses even closer. Plus Streatham specific things, like the Common.
