My home is a modern peaceful 2 bedroom flat with great connections to central London and Gatwick airport within 15mins. You will get a spacious ensuite in a great location, 10min walking distance to town centre with shops, cinema, restaurants and library , a few min from Boxpark (lots of small restaurants/ eateries).
One bus from Heathrow. One train from st Pancras!
This area of Croydon is really peaceful with many commuters. The road is safe at any time of day and night especially with taxis going up from east Croydon station and only a few minutes walk from it
There is a nice park across the road which is very peaceful usually.
You will have you own bathroom and share the living room area with me (happy to socialise and share a meal or drink in the evenings or weekends depending on availability) . You can help yourself to kettle/use fridge and microwave.
I am a friendly individual born and raised in Croydon, London, so can give you lots of tips on what go do around central London and Croydon if wanted and happy to share my home.
Please just clean up after yourself and no visitors please.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile.
