Spacious flat with free parking in Croydon

The place needs a good clean and upgrade. It’s very old and dirty

- Close enough to East Croydon station so useful to get in and out of Gatwick airport - Easy to communicate with landlord - Entering property was straight-forward

- Place felt a little creepy, almost no furniture, broken curtains, mop and bucket in the bathroom, etc - Lights in the living room were flickering and harsh, need replacement

It was more or less what I expected - a small apartment in an ageing block not far from the centre of Croydon.

The decor was very average and dated with creaky floorboards and a ´slow´ TV

The bed was comfy

We had to wash all of the bedding since the shit was filthy. The place wasn't clean

Spacious, not too far from tram/ train

While the building itself is quite secure some streets around the property I wouldn't have felt comfortable walking alone at night. There were empty properties nearby.
