Living with Host
Bright double room in a modern flat in Vauxhall/Oval, with host who works in theatre & film.
The flat has a very large kitchen and spacious living/dining area which guests will be free to use. There is a dishwasher and washing machine for use, plus Sky TV. There is a separate toilet room and a bathroom with both shower and bath.
The room is unoccupied between lets, so has an empty double wardrobe and chest of drawers which are fully available for use. Towels can be provided.
I'm afraid the flat isn't suitable for pets and smoking isn't be allowed. Guests with bicycles would have to leave them chained to the railings outside the flat.
I've always rented the room to long term flatmates but am now looking to take short term lets. Having spent years staying in digs and knowing what has been a good experience and not so good, I would like to think I can provide a nice, clean and comfortable place for actors and crew to come back to after rehearsals and show
Guest Parking
I'm afraid this operates on a visitors permit only (£1.50 a day) so would only be suitable for loading/unloading days. There is Pay & Display parking on surrounding streets otherwise.

Lily is a fab host who takes a lot of pride in her home. She made me feel so welcome and was really great company when (schedules willing) we were both in at the same time! Lily made sure I had all the info I needed & the room was light, calm & comfy.
