Property Title • Aug 19 - Aug 23, 2025
Hi Mark, my husband and I are going to be attending our son's wedding and your place is very close to the venue :)
Jun 19, 2025 09:42 PMHi Jann, Thank you for your booking. I'm looking forward to hosting you 😊 I've put quite a bit of effort into making the place nice for AirBnB so please look after it 🙏🏼 The earliest check in is 3pm. Checkout is 11am. Here's some information that will help you get around the flat. Most of these are straightforward, the general rule of thumb is that I would expect you to treat my flat as you would your own: take the shoes off when in the flat, don’t smoke inside the flat (but you can smoke in the roof garden), avoid playing loud music after 10pm etc... There is wardrobe space in both rooms cleared out for you. 🚪Doors Access is via a keypad and code. Very simple. You will receive details for this a few days before. Please note that my apartment door doesn't lock by itself, *so please lock when leaving* 🔑 🚘 Parking There is paid on street residents parking - I'm happy to book and cover the cost of this for you. But you will need to tell me in advance so I can register the virtual permit with the council. 🌡Heating You can control the heating in each room individually using the thermostat on the radiator. Simply turn the dial on it. 🎵 Music & Lights Please refer to the flat manual (http://corley.me/manual.pdf) ☕️ Coffee & Food There is a Nespresso coffee machine with capsules supplied. Tea, as well as mugs, can be found in the cupboards in the kitchen. Please feel free to make use of the spices and condiments. Feel free to use store cupboard items within reason. Anything in the fridge is fair game 🍸 🪣 Appliances In the kitchen, you have an oven, stove, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, toaster & blender, which are all easy to use. Happy to share cooking tips :) There's also a library of cookbooks which you're more than welcome to use! 📽 Projector Please refer to the flat manual (http://corley.me/manual.pdf) 🚮 Waste and Recycling: Trash/rubbish bin is hidden in the corner cupboard. If you want to take rubbish out the bins are on your left as you go out the door to the building. 📍The postcode of the flat is SE1 5LJ. The flat is on the 3rd floor at the end of the corridor. You will receive full address details in due course. 🧡 Finally, This is my home when I’m not travelling, so I’ve tried to make it cosy and welcoming for you too. If anything feels off or could be improved, even something small, just let me know — I’ll do my best to sort it out. And if you’re happy, a little 5★ love always means a lot!😊 p.s. If it's your first time in London, I'd highly recommend downloading an app called CityMapper for navigating public transport. It has all the options on it and it very upto date and accurate 🚎 🚉

Jun 19, 2025 09:46 PMWill you be requiring the sofa for sleeping as well as the two (double and superking) beds? Let me know in advance so I can arrange extra linen. Please note that it isn't a sofa bed. However, it's a large comfortable sofa to sleep on - I can attest to that myself😊 Thanks!
Jun 19, 2025 10:01 PMHi Mark Thank you for this. Very informative and looking forward to our stay. Regards Jeanette
Jun 20, 2025 06:07 AMI shouldn’t think we’ll need extra bed space, but thanks for offering x

Jun 20, 2025 11:28 AMHola, Mark, ¿tengo razón al pensar que estarás de viaje y que tendremos todo el apartamento para nosotros? Ya nos ha pasado esto antes en el lago de Como, lo que fue muy incómodo. Además, ¿podré dejar mi equipaje (suministros de boda) en el piso o espacio privado antes de las 3:00 p. m., por favor? Gracias, Jeanette :)
Jul 23, 2025 02:59 PMHope you're looking forward to your stay in two days time! Check in is simple: 1. When you get to the building buzz flat 1️⃣3️⃣ on the intercom. The door will open automatically. 2. Flat 13 is on floor 3, right at the end. Use code 🔐 663661 🔐 to open my flat door. **When you leave, press the ◀️ 'back' button on the keypad to lock the door.** (if for some reason the digital lock doesn't work there is a *backup physical key* in the top right key safe, to the right hand side of the garage door & bins, outside the building. Code: 2820)
Aug 17, 2025 05:00 PMMy apologies for the late response Jeanette - we somehow missed your message. Yes, you'll have the whole apartment to yourselves - I won't be there during your stay, it's completely private. I completely understand your concern after your experience in Lake Como. Regarding luggage, unfortunately we have guests checking out that morning and need time for the cleaning team to prepare the apartment. The earliest you could drop things off would be around 1pm or 1.30pm while we finish the final cleaning touches. Could it work for you? If you need to store things earlier, I can recommend NannyBag, a service where shops store luggage for a small fee. There's one nearby on Tower Bridge Road. 😊🙏🏽
Aug 17, 2025 06:08 PMOh, eso es genial. Gracias por tu respuesta, Mark. Muchas gracias.
Aug 17, 2025 07:09 PMJust a quick FYI, the Bluetooth for the speakers is out of action, but you can easily turn the projector on and play music through the PC. ✨️
Aug 18, 2025 08:00 AMJa, ja, ja, creo que esa será la menor de nuestras preocupaciones, pero gracias por avisarme. Mientras la boda vaya bien y nuestra cordura siga intacta al final de la semana, nos saldremos con la nuestra.
Aug 18, 2025 08:25 AMHere's some details to help you locate my flat: Flat 13, Sultan House, 238 Saint James Road, SE1 5LJ The entrance to my building is actually on Lynton Road, just off St James Road on the crossroads. The entrance to my flat is on floor 3. Come up the lift and go straight ahead right to the end of the corridor and the flat is on your left. (please arrive on or after your 3pm check-in time unless we've agreed otherwise).
Aug 19, 2025 09:00 AMHola, Mark. He seguido tus instrucciones y simplemente no puedo hacer que tu proyector funcione. También probé tu solución de problemas. No soy lo suficientemente experta en tecnología como para jugar y mi esposo tampoco llegará hasta mañana. ¿Puedes llamarme preferiblemente por WhatsApp al 07709971663? No tener televisión me está volviendo loca. Gracias, Jeanette.
Aug 19, 2025 06:44 PMHi Jann, hope you've settled in nicely. Let me know if you need anything or if anything isn't upto scratch. If anything isn't 5* worthy I'd much prefer if you communicate with me and I can try and make it right 🙏🏻
Aug 20, 2025 07:00 AMMorning mark Las cosas que no son dignas de 5* están completamente fuera de tu control, es decir, los obreros que están justo afuera haciendo toneladas de ruido y el calor del apartamento. También entretenemos a los huéspedes y puedes garantizar que casi siempre hay algo para que se quejen y yo no soy una excepción. Gracias por arreglar las cosas tan rápidamente anoche. Todo bien aquí. Y relájate x
Aug 20, 2025 07:20 AMThank you so much for your understanding. I really appreciate you acknowledging that the construction noise and heat are completely beyond my control.🙏 A little tip is to open the roof box at the top of the spiral stairs and then open the French doors downstairs in the rooms and you usually get a pretty good through draft. There are also fans in each room you can use. Enjoy the rest of your stay! I am here for anything you need
Aug 20, 2025 10:15 AMHey Jann, FYI: the checkout time is at 11am tomorrow. Just lock up when you leave. I've got the rubbish and bed linen covered so you don't have to worry about a thing! Thanks so much, you've been awesome! I'll be leaving you an all 5* review! ☺️👍
Aug 22, 2025 05:00 PMHola, Mark. El tren se va mañana, así que tuvimos que volver a casa un día antes. Lo mejor es que lo hagas con la basura, a excepción del cubo de la alacena, y te pido disculpas por dejar las aceitunas y las salsas en el refrigerador. No era muy práctico empacar. Tuvimos una gran estadía. Gracias de nuevo Un saludo, Jeanette 🤗
Aug 22, 2025 06:56 PMHello Jeanette, What a shame that you had to leave a day early because of the train issue! Don’t worry at all about the olives and sauces in the refrigerator - it’s perfectly understandable that it wasn’t practical to pack them. I’m so glad to know you had a great stay, although I completely understand what you mention about the inconveniences. I wasn’t aware of the construction works - they really are quite extensive - we just arrived at the flat. Combined with the projector problems and the cleaning team still working when you arrived, I understand that the stay wasn’t the 5-star experience I usually like to provide to my guests. I’d like to offer you a small refund to compensate for these inconveniences. It’s been a real pleasure hosting you and I hope that despite everything you enjoyed the wedding and your time in London. Safe travels back! 🤗
Aug 23, 2025 09:09 AM¿Qué tipo de suma tenías en mente, Peter?
