ABOUT MY HOME AND YOUR STAY:
My home is a cosy Two bedroom Apartment.
The room that you are invited to stay in, is facing the River Thames, which allows you to have a slight view of Tower Bridge from the room and also the River Thames. The room is ideal for solo female travellers, students or friends/family travelling together, who would like to stay in the same room together.
Arrival Time is from 2pm, Latest Departure is expected by 12 Midday
(If you require early or late arrival. Please speak to me in advance about this. As this will be based on the availability of the room.
The remaining balance for your stay is required on arrival and is paid by cash. I do not have a card machine and bank transfers are not accepted. Please do come prepared with the correct currency and amount.
The Bathroom and toilet are separate and are located next door to the Bedroom.
Towels will be provided as Standard along with soap.
While you stay within my home you will benefit from full use of the facilities which include use of the Kitchen to store and prepare your own meals should you wish to do so. However you are responsible for cleaning up after yourself after use. And for providing all ingredients required to make your own meal.
*****Please Note****: There is NO Microwave, as I do not see it to be a good way of cooking or heating up food. Therefore, I do not own one in the home. However, you can still heat up and cook any foods you wish, by using the cooker or air fryer.
For Guest Staying 5 nights or more, a Laundry service will be made available to you.
You will have access to WIFI within the home
**Please note**: As per terms of Homestay. Breakfast is NOT Compulsory and is NOT included. You can of course request a cooked or continental breakfast. Which will incur a fee p.p. You can also request a home cooked Dinner, made to order, if you give me 24 hrs notice.

Rotherhithe overground station is a 6-8 minute walk and South Bermondsey is a 10 minute walk.

Keysha is a very kind lady and the house is super clean. She provided the bedroom I stayed at with amenities. She even walked me to the overground station ~10mins away from her house. During my last night there, we chatted a lot as I couldn't sleep for preparing for my next flight. She went above and beyond from her scope as a host. I truly recommend her for a place to stay in London :)
Oh, the view is nice, too. It overlooks the Thames.Host reply

The best host!

Had a fabulous 2-night stay with Keysha! Room and flat were lovely, great central location and her little dog Princess is a sweetheart. Keysha went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect for my stay, highly recommend to others and I look forward to returning!

The whole flat is just beautiful and smells amazing and the room is very very nice+ clean, the bed’s perfectly comfortable and you’ll have everything you need there. Keysha, my host, was the absolute best; she went out of her way to make me feel happy and welcomed. We had great conversations that made me laugh a lot and the home cooked food she made us was delicious. I truly can’t recommend this accommodation and Keysha as a host enough- she’ll definitely make London feel like home for you!

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. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
