Meet Valerie
Outgoing, Sociable, Helpful
I've lived in Scotland, Canada and have now been in London over 10 years. I love to travel and always like to share the sort of information that I appreciate getting when in a new city or country.
On a typical day...
I’m a clean person and keep a clean house.
When I host guests...
I’m helpful and hands on. I can show them where to go and help them get there.

We're two working professionals sharing a lovely and comfortable home. We have great facilities with fully functional kitchen, shared living room, laundry, internet access and everything you need to feel at home. We're a few minutes walk from our nearest tube and have great parks nearby (incl the Olympic Park, West Ham Park) plus shops and grocery stores.
The room has just been painted and is bright with a double bed, desk, wardrobe etc. We can provide linen and towels. I bake sometimes so be prepared to taste!
We're very easy to get to from Stanstead and London City airport and generally well connected by public transport.
