Living with Host
Welcome to Streatham! There are many late trains and buses at night and it's a very safe walk along the road to the house.
We have two cats, Poppy and Tilly, who love company and being played with.
The back facing bedroom has a double bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, bedside table, lamp and desk as well as lots of under bed storage. There is a blackout blind on the window. Despite the house being so close to the train station, it is exceptionally quiet inside.
Lodgers are welcome to use the large sit-in kitchen/diner and the sunny back garden. There are many food shops nearby as well as a couple of friendly pubs and a number of takeaways. There are no parking restrictions in the street so you are welcome to bring a car.
There are two toilets and a powerful shower above the bath.
Guest Parking
Free street parking available close by.
The Area and Transport
Two minutes walk to Streatham Common station with trains to Victoria, London Bridge and East Croydon, Clapham Junction and Balham (for underground). Many local buses also very nearby.

Had a lovely stay here it's a great location right next to the train station and a super cosy room to stay in. Julie is so friendly and helpful as a host, I hope to stay here again sometime! Highly recommend :).

I loved my stay here and in fact have rebooked for the rest of the run of the show I’m doing. Julie is absolutely lovely and the room is cozy and comfortable with a nice view of the garden. Poppy and Tilly are very friendly cats too. A very happy stay.

Julie is a fantastic host, very welcoming and very clear and communicative. I felt very comfortable during both of my stays, the room is warm with plenty of space, the shower is great (though there is a knack to using it!) and the cats are the icing on the cake.
Thank you Julie, I’m sure I’ll be back again.

I highly recommend. One of the kindest hosts I've met. Fantastic, spacious room in a clean and lovely house, literally across the road from Streatham Common Station - no lie. Northern Line is one train stop away in Balham. Victoria Line a short bus ride away in Brixton. Great digs, and Streatham's a nice part of London.
If you find yourself with a Thursday evening off by chance, check out the open mic night at The Rebel Inn. Full back line, and great crowd of regular musos. And it's bonkers.

Julie was lovely and accommodated me at late notice. The room and house were clean and tidy and had all the basics you might need. Really near to station, and easy, free parking on the road. I didn't get any cat cuddles however!!!

The property sits across the road from the train station, getting into central London is a breeze. Julie is well used to hosting and the ambiance is informal and friendly. Cats are a bit bonkers but not intrusive, would happily stay again.

Booked on behalf of a set designer who had a fabulous time, and has even requested to stay beyond the length of the production for her further work in London. Great digs for a great price, highly recommended.
