Amanda Theobald

Hi Amanda, 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 (https://tinyurl.com/au6bls) ☕️ 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 (https://tinyurl.com/au6bls) 🚮 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!

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)

Also, I just wanted to let you know that a new washing machine is scheduled to be installed before your check-in. I’m mentioning this so you can contact me if you need the updated instructions 😊, and also just in case there is any unexpected delay in the installation — although it’s very unlikely. I simply like to keep my guests fully informed. If you need anything at all, please don’t hesitate to reach out.✨️

Of course, it should cost around £18. The postcode of the flat is SE1 5LJ. I'd highly recommend downloading an app called CityMapper for navigating public transport in London. It has all the options and costs (taxi included) on it and it very upto date and accurate. You can pay for all public transport in London just using any contactless bank card. Or you can buy and Oystercard.

It is a pleasure! 😊

Hi Amanda, so the guest never let the engineer in to install the new washing machine... if we get it re-booked, would you be OK for it to be installed during your stay, or would you rather I waited until you checkout on Tuesday?

Thank you for your willingness to help 🙏😊 Unfortunately, the professional told me he won't be able to return until Tuesday. The current washing machine isn't working, but I thought I could offer you a £30 refund towards a laundry service. There's an app called Laundryheap. It's a highly reputable home laundry service; they pick up your clothes and deliver them back clean within 24 hours. I can also recommend laundry services a few blocks from the apartment. Would this solution work for 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).

Of course, You have a restaurant called Chimichurri, with really good reviews ( https://maps.app.goo.gl/We7D3tUgCGBmd9238 ) They open until 10pm. Then you can try to go to Malevo Tower Bridge, with Argentine grill. They close at the same time ( https://maps.app.goo.gl/B5nRAQZNngNNrD1D9 )

For a traditional Sunday roast the Gregorian is the closest pub, but you'd need to get there before 6pm...

Hi Amanda, 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 🙏🏻

Also, your refund for laundry services is done 😊

Hey Amanda, 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 you're enjoying yourselves! Thank you for being such kind guests. I'm here for anything you need.🙏 Reply to: We actually hit up the Gregorian on our way in ...
