Great location and good value, but could have been more clear this was a shared apartment.
Pros:

Great location, friendly hosts. Lovely views.

Cons:

Hadn't realised it was a shared apartment. Although this was no doubt included in the booking information, I didn't feel it was clear enough and you do need to be ready to make small talk with strangers and share living spaces!

Great price for great location
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at this accommodation. The location is unbeatable – just a short walk from East Croydon station, making it super easy to reach both central London and Gatwick Airport. The room was clean and well-maintained, and we particularly loved the modern bathroom. The view over London’s skyline was breathtaking and one of the highlights of our trip. Check-in was seamless, and communication with the host was always smooth and prompt. We would definitely stay here again!
