The small double room is available in our 2 bedroom Westminster flat with use of all facilities. It is a small but modern flat on the top floor (6th). There is a lift to 5th floor then one flight of stairs (no wheelchair access). The shared bathroom has a power shower. The bedroom has mirror and hair-dryer, ichest of drawers and a small amount of hanging space. There is a desk if needed which folds away. There is a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge-freezer etc. Complimentary tea and coffee. Sheets and towels are provided with fresh ones when required. Attractive, quiet part of Central London, 5 - 7 mins from Victoria Station and St. James' Park underground, 10 min walk to Buckingham Palace, 15 min to Big Ben and Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and River Thames - all Central London tourist sites are within easy walking distance. There are excellent bus, tube and overground train links and many bike, E-bikes and scooters available close by. We are surrounded by shops, cafes and many restaurants and 2 small international food markets. There is a sports centre with gym/swimming pool at end of the road. My son is out a lot otherwise he works from home. We like our guests to make themselves at home, be independent, cater for themselves and come and go as they please. It would not suit someone very young or anyone that needs a lot of support. Guests can use the cooking facilities and fridge. Either myself or Will my son will be hosting depending on whether I am away walking with the dogs or we may both be home to host. I am a retired nurse and my son is an actor and member of a successful band. When I am home I will have 2 small dogs (schnoodles) with me - they are well behaved and non shedding. They are anxious with children however so I don’t recommend young children stay. We are very relaxed with our guests and very much enjoy meeting and chatting to people from different countries and cultures.

Additional Info:
English speaking family.
2 small dogs sometimes at home but v well behaved and hypoallergenic.
When I am home and son home too I sleep in living room on futon so please note that the living room is not available in evenings and early mornings when this is the case.

    We spent four amazing days in London as Kate made our stay very confortable. Her home is clean and convenient, you’ll find everything you need nearby.

    Kate is such a lovely host! Warm and welcoming, together with her son and adorabile dogs, she was very friendly and her home was the perfect cozy place for our first short trip to London. Will definitely be back! Cheers and see you very soon, Kate! Thank you for everything :)

    Thank you very much for hosting us! During our vacation in London, my husband and I stayed with Kate and Will twice. The cozy room had everything we needed. The location of the apartment is fantastic and convenient, with all the major attractions within walking distance. There are also plenty of cafes and shops nearby. Highly recommended!

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
