Darcie Galleur

Hi Darcie, 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 🚎 🚉

Will 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!

London has so many places to visit and enjoy, you'll love it! Thanks you for the details. I'll prepare the extra linen for your arrival. Looking forward to hosting you!

Hi Darcie, Thanks for the details! Unfortunately there are guests checking out the morning of the day you arrive. I'll speak to the cleaners but I think the earliest you could drop your bags is 2pm. If you need somewhere to store your luggage while you wait then can I suggest NannyBag (https://www.nannybag.com/en/luggage-storage/london)? It's like Airbnb for bags - shops will keep hold of your bags for a small fee. There's one on Tower Bridge road which is a short walk from Potters Fields Park (https://goo.gl/maps/XbVrKyeTaydoaAcu9) which has one of my favourite views of London and there's various pubs and restaurants in the vicinity. I hope this helps!🙏😊

Hope 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)

Hi Darcie, I understand. It's a long journey and you hope to get to your accommodation as soon as possible🙏. I have already contacted the cleaning team to let me know as soon as they have left the flat ready for you. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee this because there are many factors that I cannot predict (the condition in which they find the flat and the time it will take them to prepare it, the cleaning company's schedule, etc.). However, I can definitely assure you that you can drop your luggage at 2 p.m., and I will gladly be available all morning to monitor the process and let you know if everything goes even better than expected and I can offer you an early check-in. For earlier in the morning, I remind you of the tip about the NannyBag app (https://www.nannybag.com/en/luggage-storage/london) so that you can enjoy the city early in the morning. 😊

Thank you for being so understanding 🙏✨️ Looking forward to hosting you!

Here'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).

Hi Darcie, 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 🙏🏻

I used to have a Bluetooth speaker, but I replaced it with the Roku system to make things simpler and more reliable for everyone — sometimes people unplugged or moved the speaker and it caused confusion later. Now you can easily play music or watch anything you like using the Roku remote — it turns on the projector and Roku at the same time. You’ll see all the apps on screen where you can log into your own account and enjoy your music with great sound. 😊

Please, let me know if that is a good solution for you or if I can help with something else 😊

Also you can try to connect that with your phone. You should be able to cast music directly to Roku - so if you're in Spotify and your phone is connected to the Wifi you should be able connect to Roku to send the sound there

Perfect ✨️

Good morning Darcie, with regards to bins. There is a hidden corner bin and if you need to take it out then you just need to look left as you come out of the building and you'll see the big bins. Bin liners should be under the kitchen sink.

Of course! Those bottles are part of the welcome champagne supply. Please feel free to enjoy them, and there's no charge for them.😊

It is a pleasure!

Hey Darcie, 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! ☺️👍

I'm so glad to hear that! London awaits you, come back whenever you like ✨️ Thank you for being such kind guests. You'll always be welcome!

Hi Darcie, Thanks for the details. I'm so glad to know you enjoyed it! ✨️ Looking forward to hosting you next time! Have a nice journey back ✈️
