Living with Host
Comfortable double room in a 3 bedroom detached house in a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of the city, sharing with me.
I’m currently working from home 2 days a week so will be around in the day but apart from occasional meetings on teams I’m pretty quiet.
You’ll have access to a shared bathroom with bath & shower, living room, dining room, kitchen (gas hob & oven plus microwave, washing machine, fridge, kettle, toaster, crockery etc) plus conservatory & small garden when the weather warms up & you want to enjoy a coffee/ lunch outside.
I grow my own organic fruit & veg so if you’re staying at the right time of year you’ll be able to enjoy some of my produce.
The house is ideally situated within easy reach of the A1, M1 & M25 so Stevenage, Welwyn Garden City, Leavesdon, Watford and Elstree (BBC and Sky Studios), Harpenden and Hemel are all easily reached by car and the trains from St Albans City get into central London within 20 minutes.
Guest Parking
There is parking on my shared drive or you can park anywhere on the road as there are no parking restrictions or charges
The Area and Transport
Location is best suited to someone with their own transport but there is a bus service that runs every 20 minutes to St Albans station & City Centre for the Alban Arena. I’m located about 3 miles from the Alban Arena

I had a lovely stay with Katherine, she was welcoming and kind. I extended my stay quite a few times, which she was happy to accommodate. I would definitely stay again

Katherine was an excellent host. She was very welcoming and really flexible regarding my last minute booking and late arrival time. The location was excellent and made an early rehearsal at the Cathedral very quick and easy to get to. Katherine's house is perfect for long or short stays. Highly recommended.

Katherine was a lovely quiet lady and the place was incredibly clean, bright and comfortable. I had a few little issues with the toilet and the shower needed particular maneuvering. It was also quite a bit of trip but there were buses and I was able to scooter to the theatre. But overall it was a charming house, a nice atmosphere and Katherine was a helpful host.

Katherine was very helpful with this last minute booking, responding very quickly to confirm and provide location details. She couldn't have been more helpful. Quiet, peaceful house at the end of a cul-de-sac.

Philip was a quiet and considerate guest. I’d be happy to have him stay again if he’s filming in the area again.
I spent 10 weeks at Katy’s home while in Panto at the Gordon Craig Theatre, Stevenage.
My work schedule was busy and tiring so to come home to a
Clean,warm,peaceful room was just what I needed.
I would certainly stay again if working in the area.

You won't find digs in Radlett so Katherine's place was perfect for me. You'll need wheels obviously.

Comfortable room, friendly host, and a short drive to the theatre. Exactly as described and I would stay again if I'm working in the area. Thanks!

Thanks Jo, hopefully the cat will be brave enough to say hello next time 😄
Katherine is a very welcoming host. Her place is clean and the room is peaceful with a lovely view of the garden. The kitchen has all the amenities: a microwave, oven etc. Off street parking too. Highly recommended!
