Living with Host
I have a lovely room with a double bed, available in my bright spacious, incredibly well connected maisonette.
THE FLAT
The kitchen and large living room can be open plan or separate (using a sliding door). The kitchen has a breakfast bar, microwave, oven, fridge freezer with water dispenser, washing machine, plenty of nice cooking equipment.
The room is a decent sized double (3.5m x 3m) and has a double bed, desk and chair, and ample shelf and closet space. It has red blackout curtains and is decorated with vintage theatre and dance memorabilia.
There is a large bathroom (shared with me) with shower, bath, and toilet, and an additional downstairs toilet. Although it is technically a flat we are on the 3rd and 4th (top) floors so inside it is like a house: bedrooms and bathroom upstairs, living room and kitchen downstairs.
I have lots of plants (as you can see in the photos). I can't emphasise enough how beautifully bright the flat is, with a huge sky, trees and birds visible from the living space.
It is a calm house in a residential area. A previous guest who stayed while working on a show described it as the perfect haven in which to recover from tech week!

- a small Sainsbury's and Tesco

I could not have asked for a better stay. Rhiannon was absolutely lovely. She respected my space but we also had some really nice evenings watching a bit of TV. I didn't feel like I was intruding in her space which made me feel more welcome. Would definitely stay again ✨️

Rhiannon was very welcoming, communicated well and gave me clear instructions for arrival and settling in. Her flat is a short walk to Maryland Station or to several bus stops and there is a sainsburys nearby. Her flat is on an estate so I was a little worried about hearing her neighbours but I actually slept very well during my stay.

A brilliant stay in the most perfect location for my work in London’s West End! A easy commute on the Elizabeth Line!
Rhiannon is the ideal host, a great communicator, a lovely human and a really understanding host.
I couldn’t recommend this accommodation enough, it was so relaxing and made my summer a really comfortable one!

Rhiannon's flat was perfect! It's well-connected via the Elizabeth line and in a quiet neighborhood. The room had everything I needed and was comfortable for a long stay. Rhiannon was also so welcoming and kind. Stay here if you can!

Rhiannon is the sweetest! Had the best stay in her lovely home - it's very quirky! Fab location if you're rehearsing at the English National Ballet in Canning Town. Would definitely stay again! Thank you for being so welcoming and making me feel at home ❤️

Rhiannon was such an incredible host. It was my first time using this site and I couldn't have been more pleased. The space was amazing, and Rhiannon was so friendly and helpful in giving me tips about the local area as well as recommendations for theatre companies to check out while I was staying.
The place is a bit east of the city center, but less than 10 minutes away from the Elizabeth line which gets you there in about 20 minutes. I'd definitely recommend!

Rhiannon was a fantastic host, and a lovely person to live with whilst I was in London. I will definitely be back to stay when I next am looking for digs in the city, as I felt truly welcome there for the five months I was staying with her.

I so enjoyed staying with Rhiannon. A lovely and generous host. She went out of her way to assist me in my travels. The accommodations were just fine. I would highly recommend anyone to stay with her especially if you need to stay in E. London.

Rhiannon's place was really lovely and just what we needed as we worked on a show in central London. I look forward to catching up with Rhiannon as a friend when we're next in London!
