It's a South facing living-room with a comfortable firm leather L shaped sofa (2 m long on one side and 1.85 m on the other side and 63 cm deep) in the living room with open plan kitchen; direct access to a balcon. It is very comfortable, I sleep on it one weekend a month when the child I look after comes. Suitable for short stay to one single tourist. No other guests can book at the same time.
10 min walk from Elephant and Castle train and underground stations & 3 bus stops away - accessible using 7 bus routes coming and going in various parts of central London from the main street.
The area is full of life; the vibrant upper streets from Bermondsey Street to the Thames riverfront is home to several cafes, and plenty of restaurants and art halls; situated in a cultural district, near to national centers for arts, film, and performance. Not far from the Thames River, London Eye and a short drive to the very heart of the Capital. Big Ben, Covent Garden, and Trafalgar Square are within few bus/metro stops away from where I live. These can also be walked.

This was a really lovely stay! The sofa was indeed very comfortable and the location was excellent (with a bus stop only a two-minute walk away). I would definitely recommend this place to others! Thank you Marie for your hospitality!
