Kaustubh Gage

Hi Kaustubh, Thank you for choosing our apartment for your trip to the UK. We’re happy to hear the location and the space stood out to you. I noticed this may be your first time using Airbnb, have you used the platform before through another account or while travelling with someone else? I also wanted to check about your group. I see the booking is for 5 guests, will you be 5 adults, or are you travelling as a family with children? Just to clarify the sleeping arrangements: the apartment can host up to 5 guests. We have 2 bedrooms, one with a double bed, one with a super king bed and the 5th guest would sleep on the sofa. It’s not a sofa bed, but it is spacious and comfortable.😊 Looking forward to hearing from you. Best, Marcus

Hi Kaustubh, 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!

Hi Shreya, It will be a pleasure to hosting you all 🙏😊 Perfect, I will prepare the sofa for you. Regarding drop the luggage of at 8am, Ufortunately there are guests checking out the morning of the day you arrive. I'll speak to the cleaners but 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 🔐 939831 🔐 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: 3108)

Of course, Just for 18th? I 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. Please note I can't be held responsible for you parking unsafely and getting a ticket for any offence other than not having a valid permit.

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.
