Property Title • Sep 13 - Sep 19, 2025
Hola, Mark. Familia de 4 personas visitando Londres para las vacaciones.
Jul 25, 2025 03:29 PMHi Ee Ling, 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 🚎 🚉
Jul 25, 2025 03:29 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!
Jul 25, 2025 03:44 PM¡Gracias por la información útil! No se requiere sofá cama.
Jul 25, 2025 03:46 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)
Sep 11, 2025 05:00 PMEntendido.
Sep 12, 2025 07:00 AMHola Mark. Tengo un auto. Necesitaré estacionamiento en la calle.
Sep 12, 2025 06:41 PMHi Ee, There is a little private car park behind the flat which is £16 for 24 hours. See this link in Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jxEXfDvQKk3bYYEz9?g_st=ac You pay through the tap2park.co.uk website. Then I will reimburse you through airbnb for your parking costs. (I've never had issues leaving my car in this car park for extended periods, but some guests opt for the Q-Park multistorey, which costs £24 per day. You're welcome to park there instead and pay the difference beyond the £16 parking reimbursement I provide). Let me know if you have any questions!
Sep 12, 2025 06:45 PMEn cuanto a la seguridad, ¿cuál es más seguro? ¿Qué pasa si llueve, el estacionamiento está protegido?
Sep 12, 2025 06:48 PM¿Puedo confirmar si hay una secadora?
Sep 12, 2025 06:51 PMI’ve never had any security issues with either option, so you can feel reassured on that front. However, if you would prefer a sheltered car park, I’d recommend the second option at Q-Park. If you decide to go for that one, I’ll be happy to make an exception and adjust the budget to £20 per day. :) Reply to: Security wise, which is safer? N what happens i...
Sep 12, 2025 06:57 PMDid you mean a hair dryer? Then yes, you have a hair dryer to use 😊 Reply to: N can I confirm if there’s a dryer?
Sep 12, 2025 07:00 PMSecadora de ropa 😂
Sep 12, 2025 07:03 PMThere's a wooden clothes rack for drying clothes
Sep 12, 2025 07:05 PMThere isn't a drier function on the washing machine
Sep 12, 2025 07:05 PM¿Así que no hay una secadora de ropa? ¿Pero un tendedero de madera? 😅
Sep 12, 2025 07:08 PMWhere are you seeing that? I definitely don't have it selected on my Amenities list
Sep 12, 2025 07:12 PM🧐
Sep 12, 2025 07:12 PMMy sincere apologies
Sep 12, 2025 07:13 PMI was looking at the wrong listing 😭😂
Sep 12, 2025 07:13 PMYes, there is a washer/dryer
Sep 12, 2025 07:13 PMAnd the parking is different
Sep 12, 2025 07:14 PM¡Gracias! ¿Hay un estacionamiento privado?
Sep 12, 2025 07:14 PMI will need the following information to book in your visitor parking permit: Car Registration No. Car Make Car Model Colour Once you have this information I will be able to book it in and you will be able to park on the streets around the flat. I cover parking for the full 24 hours on the day of checkin and and checkout, which can be handy for luggage storage.

Sep 12, 2025 07:17 PMThank you. Let me sort the permits now. Give me a moment 🙏🏽
Sep 12, 2025 07:18 PM¿Puedo confirmar que esta es la dirección?
Sep 12, 2025 07:19 PMAbsolutely, that's the one 😊
Sep 12, 2025 07:20 PM¿Son estas instrucciones las correctas para este anuncio?
Sep 12, 2025 07:22 PM¿Esto también?
Sep 12, 2025 07:22 PMYes, apologies for my confusion today - it was just in answering your questions about the dyer and parking that I thought this was about my flat in Edinburgh. All the other information is correct. So the welcome message, manual link and all the checkin details are all correct 😅 Apologies again for the confusion. I hope you are looking forward to your stay?
Sep 12, 2025 07:24 PMSí. ¡Nos vemos pronto!
Sep 12, 2025 07:26 PMThank you for being so understanding. 🙏🏼 I am already processing your parking permit.
Sep 12, 2025 07:28 PMHi Ee Ling, I have now purchased virtual visitor parking permit from the council for the duration of your stay (these are also valid for the full 24 hours on the day of checkin and checkout). You just need to make sure you park in a permit holders only bay on the street. I've put together a pdf with some instructions to help find a bay: https://corley.me/parking.pdf There is no need to display anything in the car - the permit is virtual and has been fully paid. Let me know if you have any questions 😊
Sep 12, 2025 07:37 PM¿Así que la calle para estacionar está justo enfrente del apartamento?
Sep 12, 2025 07:39 PM¿Así que puedo estacionar en cualquier lugar a lo largo de la zona verde y azul claro?
Sep 12, 2025 07:44 PMExactly! Reply to: So I can park anywhere along the Green n light ...
Sep 12, 2025 07:44 PMYes, that’s right — one of the bases you can choose is on the street directly in front of the building, just about 25 metres from the entrance door. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions about the parking. I completely understand that the arrangement is a bit unusual, to the point that Airbnb doesn’t really offer an option to explain it clearly in the app. That’s why I make sure to clarify everything in the welcome information message.
Sep 12, 2025 07:45 PMEl permiso dice de lunes a viernes de 8:30 a. m. a 6:30 p. m. ¿Significa que cualquiera puede estacionar después de las 6:30 p. m.? ¿Y qué hay de sábados y domingos?
Sep 12, 2025 07:46 PMHi Ee, the virtual permit allows you to park there anytime. Including the full 24 hours on the day of check in and checkout
Sep 12, 2025 07:47 PMMi preocupación es, ¿recibiré una multa si vuelvo después de las 6:30 p. m.? ¿Los que no tienen permiso pueden estacionar después de las 6:30 p. m. hasta las 8:30 a. m.?
Sep 12, 2025 07:50 PMNo need to worry at all. I’ve been offering this parking solution to my guests for the past four years to provide them with extra convenience, and it has always worked out perfectly :) I’ve also shared the permits above so you can check everything yourself and feel reassured. 😊
Sep 12, 2025 07:55 PMEntendido. 🤞🏼
Sep 12, 2025 07:57 PMHere'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).
Sep 13, 2025 09:00 AM¡Gracias! Después de las 5:00 p. m. probablemente.
Sep 13, 2025 09:57 AMThank you for letting me know 😊
Sep 13, 2025 11:31 AMHola. Presiona 13 y se abrirá.
Sep 13, 2025 05:13 PMExactly 😊
Sep 13, 2025 05:14 PMPress 13 and it will.make a "noise" so you can open it
Sep 13, 2025 05:14 PMSí, escucho un sonido, pero no se abre.
Sep 13, 2025 05:15 PM¿Estoy en la entrada correcta?
Sep 13, 2025 05:15 PMYes 😊 when you listen the noise, then you just need to push it
Sep 13, 2025 05:15 PMOn the right side of the door
Sep 13, 2025 05:16 PMOk. 3ª vez con suerte
Sep 13, 2025 05:16 PMPerfect ✨️🙏😊
Sep 13, 2025 05:17 PMPor cierto, ¿cómo se enciende la calefacción?
Sep 13, 2025 05:22 PMThe heating is controlled by the thermostats that are in each room. You just need to turn the dial to the right to increase the temperature or to the left to lower it. You can also find detailed instructions with pictures in the apartment manual, which should be on the small table in the living room.
Sep 13, 2025 05:30 PM¡Entendido! ¡Gracias!
Sep 13, 2025 05:32 PMThey look like this
Sep 13, 2025 05:32 PMGracias, logré activarlo ☺️
Sep 13, 2025 05:33 PMPerfect ✨️
Sep 13, 2025 05:34 PM¡Gracias por la pronta respuesta!
Sep 13, 2025 05:44 PM¿Dónde está el supermercado más cercano? ¿O algún lugar para recomendar para cenar?
Sep 13, 2025 05:45 PMIt's my pleasure, I'm here for whatever you need. Today I ordered some essentials for you, they should be in the kitchen as a welcome gift.
Sep 13, 2025 05:47 PMMy favourite shop is St James Supermarket. It's a Turkish supermarket with a great selection of vegetables and a butchers counter and is open 24/7. It is less than a 10 minute walk up St James Road (https://goo.gl/maps/uq9ZfX5jfK8m5XKY7) Just opposite St James Supermarket is a small Tesco. If you need a large supermarket then there is a Tesco Superstore just 12 min walk away (https://goo.gl/maps/yeFgvqVAqLA2cr2Q9)
Sep 13, 2025 05:47 PM¡Sí, vi esos bocadillos! ¡Gracias!
Sep 13, 2025 05:49 PMFor restaurants, I'd walk to Bermondsey Street - about a 20min walk away and there are a selection of good restaurants there. There are also some places to eat in the arches which are a bit closer - for example I really like a place called 40 Maltby Street. Also, in the manual I put some other options with the QR and locations 😊
Sep 13, 2025 05:50 PMGracias por las recomendaciones.
Sep 13, 2025 05:51 PMHola, Mark. ¿Hay un manual para el proyector?
Sep 13, 2025 08:33 PMHi Ee Ling, 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 🙏🏻
Sep 14, 2025 07:01 AMTodo bien. ¡Todos dormimos bien!
Sep 14, 2025 07:03 AM¿Toda la basura tiene que bajar a la planta baja ya?
Sep 14, 2025 07:04 AMSorry for the delay 🙏 If you need to take out the trash, the bins are located outside the building, to the left of the door as you exit. You can choose to take it out or not, according to your preferences. If there is any trash left at the end of your stay, the cleaning team will take it out. Reply to: All trash hav to bring down to ground floor ya?
Sep 14, 2025 09:25 AM¡Hola, Mark! ¿Cómo controlas el elemento calefactor? A veces hace calor y a veces no
Sep 18, 2025 07:45 AMHi Ee Ling, You just need to turn the dial to the right to increase the temperature or to the left to lower it 😊
Sep 18, 2025 11:32 AMPlease let me know if you can get the temperature right. If you need help, I can adjust it remotely. I just need to know if you want the temperature lower or higher.
Sep 18, 2025 11:39 AM¿Cómo se ajusta el secador en los 2 inodoros?
Sep 18, 2025 11:43 AMLo hicimos, pero siempre pasa a 19.
Sep 18, 2025 11:45 AMOk, let me check in the app. Do you want higher? Reply to: Hi Ee Ling, You just need to turn the dial to t...
Sep 18, 2025 12:00 PM¿Se pueden aumentar los dos estantes en los baños a 23?
Sep 18, 2025 12:03 PMEn general, la habitación a las 20 está bien.
Sep 18, 2025 12:03 PMHi Ee, yes that's right the heating resets to 19 each morning. So the manual adjust is simply a boost until the next schedule. The temperature of the rooms looks gewat though? I can have my engineer look into disabling the schedule, if that is a problem?
Sep 18, 2025 12:04 PMEstá bien. Solo una noche más. 😉
Sep 18, 2025 12:06 PMThe heating in the toilets simply comes on if the radiator in *any of the other rooms* comes on. If the temperature in the bathrooms is not hot enough, then I can tell you how to turn the underfloor heating on, if you like? Reply to: Those drying rack in the 2 toilets, hw do u adj...
Sep 18, 2025 12:07 PMSí, solo para los baños.
Sep 18, 2025 12:07 PMThere is a switch high on the wall outside each bathroom. Simply turn that on and you should get underfloor heating
Sep 18, 2025 12:08 PMI hope that helps 🙏🏽☺️
Sep 18, 2025 12:08 PMLo intentaré esta noche.
Sep 18, 2025 12:10 PMHey Ee Ling, 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! ☺️👍
Sep 18, 2025 05:00 PM¡Gracias, Mark! ¡Has sido un anfitrión increíble! Dejaré una reseña mañana. Estamos saliendo a las 7:30 a. m. tml.
Sep 18, 2025 05:14 PMThanks so much for letting me know 🙏 Good night and Have a really nice travel tomorrow!✨️
Sep 18, 2025 05:19 PM¡Hola, Mark! Acabo de salir. Gracias.
Sep 19, 2025 05:51 AMThanks for being so kind guests Ee Ling. You are always welcome ✨️
