Living with Host
About the rooms:
* Room 1. A large double near the city centre with good wifi, a desk and chair, wardrobe, chest of drawers and shelves, as well as a full length mirror.
*Room 2. A cosy and bright single room with mirror, shelves, hanging space and under bed storage.
* 15 mins away from local theatres by public transport, 20-25 minutes on foot.
* Use of shared living area, dining room, kitchen & garden and primary use of the downstairs bathroom (I use a separate shower room so it's effectively all yours unless both rooms are taken). I know not everyone likes to share so am happy to guarantee you sole use of the bathroom for an extra £20 a week.
* Free on street parking outside the house.
Obviously super happy to have pairs of folks together in both rooms - just let me know when you’re booking so I make sure not to give the other room away.
Guest Parking
There's free on street parking outside
The Area and Transport
My house is a Victorian Terrace in the Embankment/Old Meadows area of Nottingham. At the bottom of the road are playing fields, a park and the River Trent. It is very close to Trent Bridge (famous for the cricket ground) and Nottingham Forest Football stadium and the city centre is only a 10 minute walk away or the tram is a 2 minute walk from the house.
Included amenities
See what's not included
This space is shared with 1 Host and 1 other paying Guest.
The bathroom is a shared bathroom between both digs rooms unless you request to have exclusive use of it. Which I ask an extra £20 a week. Obviously if no one else books in but you've not requested exclusive use there is no extra charge.

Other rules
I really just want this to be a home away from home for folks on tour. So won't bat an eye if you're cooking in the middle of the night or pottering in your PJs at midday (theatre hours are weird). My only big requests are that you tidy up after yourself, make sure washing up is done before you go to bed and ask before having anyone to visit, mostly just so I know who's in the house. I have neighbours so ask people to be respectful and minimise any loud noises between 10pm-9am (though general pottering about/watching netflix etc is obviously more than fine! And I sleep like the dead so you never have to worry about waking me). I work from home 3 days a week, and always happy to chat over a cuppa or leave you to do your own thing as you'd prefer - totally get there are days you might not want to talk!
Smoking/vaping - outside in the garden only please. Check in times by arrangement.
If you've got any questions do just reach out and happy to answer them.

I had a great time staying with Lydia. The house is near a tram stop, which was so helpful. It’s also not too far out of town to walk. The house is right by the river which is a lovely running spot.

Thanks, was lovely having you to stay.
Lydia was such an accommodating host. The room was cosy. Getting into town is straightforward as the Queen’s Walk Tram stop is a few minutes walk away. And the walk into town is also doable. If you are nervous about walking back late at night I would suggest checking with Lydia about the route to take when walking from the house to the tram stop , as there is a more desirable route to take and Lydia is so friendly and helpful

Lydia is a wonderful host. The room was comfortable and it was lovely having a separate bathroom. Everything was clean and a 20 minute walk to the theatre. The tram stop is a 5 minute walk away and if you use the scan you can get the tram for £1.50!

Wonderful stay with Lydia in Nottingham, The bedroom, kitchen and bathroom were exactly as described, very clean and had everything you need. Lydia was a fantastic host, very friendly and welcoming, wanted you to feel at home for the week which I did. About a 23 minute walk to Theatre Royal but there are excellent bus and tram links even late at night. Would stay here again!

Thanks, was so lovely having you to stay. Do definitely reach out if you’re back this way.
Lydia is such a warm and welcoming host, her house is so tidy with a relaxed atmosphere, and the bedroom doubled as a great working space for me during the daytimes. With free parking right outside her door, an easy walk to the theatre, (or an Uber is roughly £8.) this was a really great stay for me. I had some lovely walks by the river too, a great location. Thank you Lydia!

Great stay, thank you!

Thanks - was lovely having you to stay, do come again any time
Lydia is super welcoming and friendly. It's a lovely home, very clean and comfortable and she totally gets life on the road. It's a nice little 20-30 min walk to and from the theatre, I would recommend staying with a friend/cast mate if both rooms are available so you can walk together, but taxies are also very reasonable. Thank you Lydia for a lovely stay xx

Oh my word, I loved staying here. Lydia is abs lovely and sooo cheery and easy going, and the room was big enough for my oversized suitcase(!) and exercise mat! I had my own bathroom and the tram and bus were easy and regular. Perfect digs; thanks so much Lydia.

Had the BEST time with the wonderful Lydia! Couldn't recommend this place enough. Warm, welcoming, friendly and full of laughs. It was just like living with a friend. Stayed in the smaller of the two rooms and the bed was super comfy, with lovely fairy lights. Lydia was very accommodating and super friendly a true delight and a laugh to be around. Felt like a home away from home, super easy commute to Theatre royal Nottingham via a tram just a short 5 min walk from the house. Loved it thank you
