Property Title • Jul 07 - Jul 10, 2026
Hola, Mark. Mi familia va a viajar al Reino Unido, ya que mi segunda hija se va a casar en Cheltenham y se va a mudar a Londres, de donde es él. Se conocieron en la universidad. Somos de Nueva York, EE. UU. Después de la boda, cuando regresemos a Londres, queremos reservar tu alojamiento para mi esposa, mi hija mayor con su esposo y nuestro nieto de 2 años. El alojamiento se ve perfecto para nosotros y lo disfrutaremos por las noches, después de que nuestro nieto se duerma. Soy Ed, mi esposa Rosemarie, Kayla, Manny y Lorenzo, de 2 años.
Mar 29, 2026 02:44 PMHi Edward, 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 29, 2026 02:45 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!
Mar 29, 2026 02:59 PMMark No creo que vayamos a necesitar el sofá para dormir, pero sí usaremos la cuna o la cama de viaje para niños. Para el registro, me gustaría asegurarme de que mi hija y mi yerno figuren en la lista en caso de que necesiten comunicarse contigo durante nuestra visita. Esposa, Rosemarie Wheeler Kayla Wheeler Estévez Manny Estévez Ed
Mar 29, 2026 05:36 PMThanks for all the details Edward. Looking forward to hosting you!
Mar 30, 2026 07:44 PMHola, Marcus. La boda de mi hija en Cheltenham fue maravillosa y ahora estamos en Bristol. Espero con ansias registrarme en tu departamento el martes. Se avecina más clima caluroso. Creo recordar que cuando seleccioné tu departamento tenía aire acondicionado, pero no lo veo mencionado en tus instrucciones. ¿Hay aire acondicionado? ¿Hay una lavadora para usar o una lavandería cercana que recomendarías? Ed
Jul 05, 2026 08:44 AMHi Ed, I'm so glad to hear your daughter's wedding went wonderfully! I hope you're enjoying Bristol as well.✨️ I know, this recent hot weather has caught us all by surprise! The flat doesn't have built-in air conditioning, as is the case with most homes in London and it is being a big thing, unfortunately. However, over the last few summers we've only had a couple of unusually hot weeks, and whenever that happens I rent a portable AC unit. Of course, I've already reserved one for your stay, and an extra fan arrived yesterday as well. Guests who've had this setup have been very happy with it. 🙏 And yes, there is a washer-dryer in the flat that you're very welcome to use. Please, if you have any other question, let me know 🙏
Jul 05, 2026 12:19 PMHola, Marcus: Gracias por la aclaración y por organizar la unidad portátil. Tengo que revisar nuestros planes de viaje, pero es posible que tengamos que usar el lugar de almacenamiento de equipaje durante un par de horas antes del check-in. Aparte de ese detalle, creo que ya tenemos todo listo para nuestra estancia. Eddie
Jul 05, 2026 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 🔐 939831 🔐 to open my flat door. **When you leave, press the ◀️ 'back' button on the keypad to lock the door.**
Jul 05, 2026 06:00 PMIt's my pleasure, Ed. I'll do everything that's within my reach to make sure you all feel comfortable and enjoy your stay. Just to mention, the apartment is in a residential building, so unfortunately there isn't a reception or concierge where luggage can be left. What I am able to do is ask the cleaning team to receive your luggage while they're at the apartment that day. It will depend on your arrival time and whether they're already there, but I'm happy to check.😊 Another option, If you need to store your luggage much earlier, 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. Please let me know your expected arrival time as soon as you have it, and I'll do my best to help make it as easy as possible.🙏
Jul 05, 2026 06:06 PMMarcus, esperamos llegar desde Bristol en un servicio de transporte a la 1:30. Por supuesto, el tiempo de viaje puede verse afectado por las condiciones. Espero que tengas una opción fácil para nosotros. Si no, estoy seguro de que encontraremos la manera de arreglárnoslas. Muchas gracias.
Jul 06, 2026 08:35 AMHi Ed, That will be perfect. They will be there by that time so I will ask them to let you drop the luggage off while they are preparing the flat 🙏😊 Also, Would you need parking?
Jul 06, 2026 09:21 AMEso es muy útil. Gracias. No tenemos auto. Cuando estuve en Londres antes de ir a Cheltenham para la boda, utilicé la aplicación City map que recomendaste. Eddie
Jul 06, 2026 09:30 AMAmazing Looking forward to hosting you all!
Jul 06, 2026 09:32 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).
Jul 07, 2026 10:00 AMHi Ed, The cleaning team said that you can drop the luggage off around 1.30pm if you need 🙏😊 they will be there. In fact, if the apartment ends up being empty, it means it’s ready, in which case you could check in, but that depends on how long it takes them to finish it today.🤞
Jul 07, 2026 11:08 AMMarcus: Gracias por la actualización. Estamos de viaje y la llegada estimada sigue siendo a la 1:30. Hemos hecho planes para reunirnos con mi hija que vive en Londres, recién casada, después de dejar el equipaje. Si el horario nos permite entrar, nos vendría bien refrescarnos antes de salir. Eddie
Jul 07, 2026 11:19 AMCongratulations to the newlyweds!✨️ It would be great if everything is finished by the time you arrive, but we'll see how the morning goes. 🤞 I'm glad being able to drop off your luggage works well with your plans. Looking forward to hosting you. Have a great journey!
Jul 07, 2026 11:24 AMHi Edward, 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 08, 2026 08:00 AMHey Edward, 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! ☺️👍
Jul 09, 2026 06:04 PMMarcus, el departamento era cómodo y conveniente para nosotros. Agradecemos los pequeños detalles que proporcionaste y que hayas configurado el aire acondicionado. Fue un placer y sí, verás una reseña de 5 estrellas. Estamos afuera con el servicio de transporte. Nota: Marcus, el ocupante, nos acaba de decir que el departamento era cómodo y conveniente para nosotros. Agradecemos los pequeños detalles que proporcionaste y que hayas configurado el aire acondicionado. Fue un placer y sí, verás una reseña de 5 estrellas. Estábamos afuera con el servicio de autos y el ocupante del departamento de abajo nos dijo que el desagüe del aire acondicionado gotea en su ventana y que solo hay que moverlo a la derecha o a la izquierda de donde está. Habría corrido a ajustar un poco, pero llegó nuestro auto para llevarnos al aeropuerto.
Jul 10, 2026 10:23 AMHi Ed, Thanks so much for letting me know about that 🙏✨️ I will fix it now. It was a pleasure to hosting you all. Have a nice journey back home! 😊
