Hi Florens, 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 🚎 🚉

Mar 12, 2026 07:27 PM

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!

Mar 12, 2026 07:41 PM

Hola, No, gracias. No necesitamos sofá; solo somos tres. ^^

Mar 12, 2026 07:43 PM

Pero gracias

Mar 12, 2026 07:43 PM

Hola, Una pregunta rápida por adelantado. ¿Tienen toallas o tendríamos que llevar las nuestras? Saludos cordiales, Florens ^^

Jun 02, 2026 03:33 PM

Hola, También quería preguntar por el código postal del departamento porque lo necesitamos para la WTA. Saludos, Flo

Jun 21, 2026 07:38 PM

Hola, Perdón por molestar, pero necesitamos tu ayuda debido a nuestra hora estimada de llegada. Gracias.

Jun 23, 2026 04:06 PM

Hi Florens, Sorry about that! Aparentely my answer never arrived 🤷‍♂️

Jun 23, 2026 05:10 PM

Jun 23, 2026 05:10 PM

The postcode is SE15LJ 😊

Jun 23, 2026 05:11 PM

Hi Florens, Yes, I provide one set of towels for each person (the towel set has two pieces: a large towel and a smaller one 😊)

Jun 23, 2026 05:12 PM

Hola: Para su información, acabamos de pagar la estancia. ^^

Jul 03, 2026 11:55 AM

Hi Florens, Thank you! Looking forward to hosting you both :)

Jul 03, 2026 12:33 PM

Hola, ¿Tengo una pregunta más? ¿Podemos hacer el check-in antes o tendríamos que esperar hasta las 3 p. m.? ¿Tiene alguna idea de dónde podríamos dejar nuestro equipaje hasta las 3 p. m., porque ya aterrizamos a las 8 a. m. en STN?

Jul 14, 2026 06:16 AM

Hi Florens, Unfortunately there are guests checking out the morning of the day you arrive. 🙏 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!😊🙏

Jul 14, 2026 11:38 AM

Gracias por la información ^^

Jul 14, 2026 12:01 PM

Hi Florens, As you may already know, London has been experiencing some unusually warm weather lately, which has caught all of us a little by surprise. Most homes in London simply aren't designed or equipped for these temperatures. As the flat doesn't have built-in air conditioning, I didn't want that to affect your stay, so I've arranged for a portable AC unit for you. I've been providing it for recent guests, and they were really happy with it.😊 You'll also find fans available, and fortunately the flat has good natural ventilation too. The portable AC will already be set up in the living room, by the side window, so it doesn't get in the way of the main window, which also doubles as the projector screen when you close the blinds for a film. If you have any questions or need any help with it during your stay, please just let me know and I'll happily get in touch with the technician if needed. Thank you!

Jul 15, 2026 08:02 AM

Just a quick note.😊 As you probably know, I rent out the flat while I'm travelling, so I'm currently in a different time zone. I'll be available around your usual check-in time (from 3:00 pm), but if you already know you'll be arriving significantly later, or if there's anything you might need before check-in, I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know by the day before. That way I'll be sure to see your message in time and do my best to help with anything you need. Thank you, and I look forward to hosting you!

Jul 15, 2026 10:04 AM

Gracias por contarnos. Todavía no sabemos muy bien cómo será el plan ese día. Pero te lo enviaré por mensaje de texto a su debido tiempo. Gracias por la nota y por conseguir el aire acondicionado. (¡Qué salvavidas!) Tenemos muchas ganas y cuidaremos muy bien tu departamento. Saludos, Flo

Jul 15, 2026 10:11 AM

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 🔐 939831 🔐 to open my flat door. **When you leave, press the ◀️ 'back' button on the keypad to lock the door.**

Jul 15, 2026 06:04 PM

Hola, Situación inusual. Mañana aterrizamos en el aeropuerto STN a las 8 a. m. y estaremos en camino durante mucho tiempo antes, o también tendré un resfriado. ¿Hay alguna manera de llegar antes? Tampoco tenemos ningún problema si alguien limpia el departamento durante ese tiempo.

Jul 16, 2026 11:33 AM

Hi Florens, So sorry to hear that. I've also had a cold these past few days, and it's not comfortable at all. Unfortunately there are guests checking out the morning of the day you arrive. So, the apartment will be occupied by the current guests during the morning. Afterward, the cleaning company has a few hours to get the apartment ready again and they require the apartment to be empty in order to do their work.🙏 I will ask them to please let me know if they finish preparing the apartment sooner, but it is not something I can guarantee.

Jul 16, 2026 01:07 PM

But I have an idea (I always do this when I am travelling and I arrive earlier) 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 where you can go and feel comfortable and ezplore London at the same time. I hope this helps!🙏😊

Jul 16, 2026 01:10 PM

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).

Jul 17, 2026 10:02 AM

¡Hola! Acabamos de entrar al departamento cuando descubrimos una caja azul junto a la puerta que dice "¡alertas del sistema!" ¿Tenemos que preocuparnos o es solo un error porque la fecha también es incorrecta?

Jul 17, 2026 03:31 PM

Nothing to worry about. Just an old alarm that isnt in use.

Jul 17, 2026 03:39 PM

I am glad you arrive well 😊

Jul 17, 2026 03:54 PM

Hi Florens, 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 🙏🏻

Jul 18, 2026 08:03 AM

Hola, Perdón por molestarte, pero el proyector no funciona. No estamos avanzando, como verás en la foto que te enviaré en un momento.

Jul 18, 2026 07:23 PM

Hola, Desafortunadamente, un control remoto no funciona, aunque le cambiamos las baterías.

Jul 18, 2026 07:27 PM

La Lilane más pequeña

Jul 18, 2026 07:27 PM

Hi Florens, Sorry, I need to understand better. Are you talking about the fan? Please could you send me a picture?

Jul 18, 2026 07:39 PM

Ah, perdón, no, a través del proyector

Jul 18, 2026 07:40 PM

Jul 18, 2026 07:40 PM

Llegamos hasta aquí, pero no podemos ir más lejos.

Jul 18, 2026 07:40 PM

Oh thank you. There are 2 controls, the one that we need to use is the Roku one. Is that not working?

Jul 18, 2026 07:41 PM

No, desafortunadamente.

Jul 18, 2026 07:42 PM

También probamos el proyector y, desafortunadamente, tampoco funciona.

Jul 18, 2026 07:42 PM

Omg, so sorry. So did you find batteries and they did not work?

Jul 18, 2026 07:42 PM

Ya los hemos reemplazado por otros nuevos

Jul 18, 2026 07:43 PM

That's very strange - the Roku remote is the only one you need. And if you are seeing roku on the screen then it must have worked to turn it on. The receiver for the roku is behind the sofa just below the projector. You could try unplugging the power from that and plugging back in? Failing that, I'll need to send an engineer round to take a look.

Jul 18, 2026 07:47 PM

Wait at least 60 seconds after you unplug it. This hard resets it.

Jul 18, 2026 07:50 PM

I'm so sorry that you're having trouble 🙏🏽 usually the roku is very reliable

Jul 18, 2026 07:51 PM

Todo bien. Juntos podemos hacerlo.

Jul 18, 2026 07:52 PM

Encontré el botón y ahora estoy esperando

Jul 18, 2026 07:52 PM

This is what the device looks like

Jul 18, 2026 07:52 PM

Jul 18, 2026 07:53 PM

Ahora está parpadeando

Jul 18, 2026 07:54 PM

Jul 18, 2026 07:54 PM

También parpadea en azul cuando presiono algo, pero no se enciende a menos que lo encienda directamente en el proyector

Jul 18, 2026 07:56 PM

Ah, funciona.

Jul 18, 2026 07:58 PM

Gracias

Jul 18, 2026 07:58 PM

Muchas gracias ^^

Jul 18, 2026 07:59 PM

Oh amazing. So glad to read that Thank you for your help to resolve that! 😊🙏 Enjoy! I am here for anything you need

Jul 18, 2026 08:00 PM

Solo necesito un poco más de ayuda para conectarme al Wi-Fi.

Jul 18, 2026 08:00 PM

Jul 18, 2026 08:00 PM

Wearesultans100!

Jul 18, 2026 08:01 PM

Also, once you've done that is might ask you to sign into Roku. If it does, then if you send a picture of the QR code then I can sign in from here 👍🏽

Jul 18, 2026 08:02 PM

Lo tengo en alemán. ¿Qué parte de esto debo escribir en inglés? ^^

Jul 18, 2026 08:02 PM

Jul 18, 2026 08:03 PM

Jul 18, 2026 08:04 PM

Sorry I did not realize that! Here a picture

Jul 18, 2026 08:04 PM

¿Y cuál de esos

Jul 18, 2026 08:04 PM

Jul 18, 2026 08:04 PM

Jul 18, 2026 08:05 PM

Verano

Jul 18, 2026 08:08 PM

Funcionó, gracias.

Jul 18, 2026 08:09 PM

Ahora se está descargando algo

Jul 18, 2026 08:09 PM

Jul 18, 2026 08:10 PM

Ah, lo hice en alemán en lugar de en inglés.

Jul 18, 2026 08:10 PM

¿Debería volver a hacerlo?

Jul 18, 2026 08:10 PM

Jul 18, 2026 08:12 PM

Ahí tienes. Lo hice de nuevo en inglés.

Jul 18, 2026 08:12 PM

Not sure - have you tried "my TV doesn't support arc"?

Jul 18, 2026 08:14 PM

Pero ahora y luego esto viene

Jul 18, 2026 08:14 PM

Jul 18, 2026 08:14 PM

Yes, so if you send me a photo of the QR code

Jul 18, 2026 08:15 PM

Jul 18, 2026 08:16 PM

Thank you. I will do that now 🙏

Jul 18, 2026 08:16 PM

You should be golden now 🙏🏽

Jul 18, 2026 08:18 PM

Thankyou so much for your patience!

Jul 18, 2026 08:18 PM

Sí, funcionó y puedo usarlo. Gracias y perdón por las molestias.

Jul 18, 2026 08:19 PM

Gracias, gracias.

Jul 18, 2026 08:19 PM

🥳🥳🥳

Jul 18, 2026 08:19 PM

Mmm, Marcus. Otra vez no funciona.

Jul 18, 2026 08:22 PM

Por un corto tiempo, se me permitió

Jul 18, 2026 08:22 PM

Bien, encontré el problema. Si está detrás del sofá, no puedo operarlo.

Jul 18, 2026 08:23 PM

So it's working? You just need to point he remote towards the roku? Or it's stopped working?

Jul 18, 2026 08:24 PM

Ahora, de nuevo. Lo siento, no soy el mejor para explicar. El router detrás del sofá tiene que estar encendido para que funcione. Una vez que está detrás de eso, no quiere irse.

Jul 18, 2026 08:25 PM

It should be on top of the sofa, not behind

Jul 18, 2026 08:26 PM

Ah, estuvo detrás todo el tiempo hasta ahora.

Jul 18, 2026 08:27 PM

Ah, my apologies, the previous guest must have put it under the sofa for some reason

Jul 18, 2026 08:27 PM

Así que hasta que me digas dónde está. Luego lo saqué. (Pero tampoco funcionó después de eso). Así que el reinicio era necesario, creo)

Jul 18, 2026 08:28 PM

Ha, no worries. Glad we got to the bottom of it! (if you could set it back to English for the next guests that would be mega helpful 🙏🏽🙏🏽)

Jul 18, 2026 08:29 PM

Ya lo he hecho ^^

Jul 18, 2026 08:32 PM

Gracias de nuevo por tu ayuda.

Jul 18, 2026 08:32 PM

Thanks so much! Enjoy and have a great evening! 😊

Jul 18, 2026 08:33 PM

También

Jul 18, 2026 08:34 PM

Just a quick reminder that we're in different time zones. 😊 Of course I'll be available around your usual check-out time, but if you know you'll be leaving significantly earlier, or if there's anything you'd like to ask before you check out, I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know by the day before. That way I can make sure I'm available at the right time if needed. Thank you, and I hope you've had a lovely stay!

Jul 22, 2026 06:03 PM

Hey Florens, 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! Also, just a quick reminder that we're in different time zones. 😊 Of course I'll be available around your usual check-out time, but if you know you'll be leaving significantly earlier, or if there's anything you'd like to ask before you check out, I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know by the day before. That way I can make sure I'm available at the right time if needed. Thanks so much, you've been awesome! I'll be leaving you an all 5* review! ☺️👍
