The room has an Oriental theme, with a king size hardwood four poster bed, made in Bali Indonesia. The textiles include cotton sheets and Indian and Thai silk and satin embroidered textiles, some of which are hand embroidered; there is a goose feather duvet and feather pillows. The room is a simple, uncluttered white room with white wooden floors and Oriental prints on the wall. The apartment also has a large roof garden. It is a short walk to Elephant and Castle (Zone1) underground station or Kennington (Zone 2). I have been a world traveller throughout my life and am quite used to flatsharing. You are welcome to use the kitchen; there is an abundance of shops and supermarkets in the area where you can source your own groceries; however I prepeare a continental breakfast in the morning and you are welcome to help yourself to coffee, tea, toast and snacks at any time of the day or night; there is also a kettle and some tea and coffee in your bedroom.
The property is on the top floor (third floor) of a Victorian apartment building which overlooks the artist's studios of Peacock Yard. The street is very quiet in the evening as the street is a cul-de-sac and there is no through traffic. It is within walking distance (25+ minutes) to the South Bank (River Thames) museums and theatres, or one stop on the underground (to Waterloo). I am five stops on the underground south of Picadilly Circus on the Bakerloo line. You can see the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye in the distance from the roof garden.
The price is for the room; not per person, by the way.
This is essentially a flatshare in a two bedroom flat; the only persons you would be sharing with are myself and my boyfriend.
I don't really have any house rules. Do as you will. Feel at home. My house is your house (Mi casa es tu casa). If you smoke, and you wish to smoke in the bedroom, or burn incense and candles (provided), that is OK but I would ask however that you be careful with all the fabrics.
Parking: there is ample free parking in the evenings and weekends. There is no free parking weekdays; during the weekdays there are parking meters, or you I can drive you to a residential area a couple of miles to the south of here where there is free parking. I can provide daily visitor's parking permits so that you may park in the resident's parking zones outside the flat; these cost £3.50 per day from the local council, but please let me know in advance if you need parking as I often run out of tickets.
I like to be as flexible as possible with arrival and departure times; you can arrive any time and leave any time; however if there are other house guests leaving on the day you arrive or arriving on the day you depart, you may of course leave your luggage here but I will need to change the sheets and towels in the room and clean the room.
If you require the entire two bedroom flat (Sleeps 4) which has two oriental themed rooms, both with four poster beds, please see my other listing. This listing is just for the one bedroom (sleeps 2) and is ideal for couples or single persons.

Katharina 5.0 stars 05/04/2013Eine sehr tolle Unterkunft mit einem zauberhaften Bett! Die Lage war Top und die Beschreibungen stimmten überein. Ein absolutes Higlight war die Dachterrasse mit Blick auf den Big Ben und Westminster Abbey. Öffentliches Verkehrsmittel in unmittelbarer Nähe. Wir kommen gerne wieder!!!
