Small well placed room in Docklands
The cosy bed is a small double In a box room overlooking the garden  but there is plenty of space  for the single traveler based in a  residential area. You'll have use of the shared bathroom & kitchen with space to put  food in the fridge.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />Hi, I'm able to offer you a single room in a 1980's built, end of terrace house located in a strictly  residential area with a few local shops nearby. You would stay  preferably for 2  nights or longer depending on your plans but I am flexible and understand that some guests just need to stay for only 1 night, so that is quite acceptable. <br /> If you book on the same day that you would like to stay, please give me at least 6 hours notice and if you book in the morning, I might be out and you will have to wait until I get in, which is usually about 4pm so I will need time to prepare the room as well.<br />We are tucked away just behind the main road and I am quite happy to come out to meet you, as our turning can be
This area is family orientated with primary and secondary schools just minutes away and  a small park  with open spaces and trees.  The local council have improved the landscaping around the area and we are included in the Greenway walking/cycling map for getting about in and around London. If you are here for a few days and are sporty,  we have a large field with a 'Green Gym with running track which is free to use just outside our front door. <br />There are 2 supermarkets ASDA and Lidl  just 10 minutes walk away and a 24 hour Tesco's which is a bit further away but you can walk to it during the day but I would recommend the bus if you were to go late evening it is in  a shopping complex where there are also High Street fashion stores and a Costa coffee shop.<br />Locally near to Cyprus station we have 2 small general stores, somewhere to buy Fish & Chips or Kebabs and a  pharmacy. <br />We are opposite - across the water from the London City Airport and you can see the planes landin
I am friendly,  outgoing,  enjoy meeting people and have been a host with Airbnb for over 7 years now. I have a spare room and  need to find a way to support myself financially as I thought that I would be retiring but then the government changed the retirement age. So the two elements came together and I have been having some success at having guests stay and on the whole it has been a very enjoyable experience, not all guests leave a review and I have been host to more than 300 hundred guests so far.
I'm a  qualified librarian who worked in education for  23 years and in Public Libraries before that, a while ago I decided to take time out, to pursue other interests and to travel, (last trip was to Croatia with a Croatian friend). 
My last job was in marketing, working in the Canary Wharf Tower - Completely different from anything I've done before.
I  am Vegan and I also try to eat organically as much as my budget allows, a non-smoker, I enjoy different genres of music, films, visiting  art galleries and markets with friends, reading is probably an obvious choice!, mainly crime and political thrillers. I love gardening and try every year to do something with my little back yard, growing Organic Veg and doing my best to encourage the bees and other wildlife.  I enjoy walking and being by the coast, so being close to the docks is second best but it is a joy to be able to get a glimpse of the river every day and there are the canals close by as well.  
 I do voluntary work and I'm involved with gardening / conservation projects locally and also I volunteer in a charity bookshop in Greenwich.  
I love to travel and have been to Australia several times, I've got good friends  living there and I hope to go back there again.  I've been to Canada, Egypt, parts of Europe and Cuba which was totally amazing.... I've been to other places as well. I'm happy to backpack or stay in b &b's etc. but even stayed in a 5 star hotel in Perth, WA which was lovely for a change...
I've met many really interesting people, whilst being a host and if you have the space I would recommend giving it a go yourselves. As a host, I play it by ear and will adapt to the needs of my guests in as much as I will chat when you want me too and share cups of tea  but I can work out if you just want to go to your room after a busy day or know to leave you in peace when you want to prepare and eat your meal. just as there will be times when I need to be left alone to get on with the things I want to do . 
 The house is quite quirky and I am slowly de-cluttering as I have had a lot of things that I've acquired over the years as well as stuff that the kids have left behind but I'm getting it to look more how I want it to look but this isn't a Show Room House but a lived in home...
