Melinda's place was great. The interior was stylish and clean. Location wise, it's about 45-60 minutes from central London but about a 5-10 minute walk from Crystal Palace station. Crystal Palace itself seems like a quieter but hip area. Lots of restaurants nearby. Melinda was helpful in answering any questions we had. She even lent us her Tate museum membership card which was a lovely touch. Super friendly, I would definitely recommend!
