Room for ONE, with a view
While I stay in the main room, my SPARE ROOM (see photos) is currently available to Airbnb guests - an Oasis of Peace in the heart of a vibrant, multi-cultural city that is London and it’s heart, the East End :)<br /><br />BOOKING YOUR VISIT:<br />I run an *old school* Airbnb. <br />So when you get in touch, let me know who you are, what the purpose of your visit is etc. <br />If we seem to be a 'good match' - I'll book  you in :)<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />Many of my guest said that staying with me is like going on a little retreat and stepping into an Oasis of Peace.<br />I ask my guest to respect this space and its energy please.<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />You will have access to:<br /><br />- Your private room <br />(see photos of 'spare / Airbnb room')<br /><br />- Shared bathroom <br />(I provide toilet paper, soap and will give you one towel to use - if you require anything else, please make sure you bring what you need)<br /><br />-  NO ACCESS to shared kitchen /
THE LOCAL AREA <br />---------------------- <br />If you have a quick look at a map of London you’ll appreciate how central Mile End / Bethnal Green is. The local area is green, safe and walking around is a must to truly appreciate it. <br /><br />You'll find everything you need in this neighbourhood <br />...if I don't have to (e.g. go to work etc), I hardly ever leave the East End - I love it here :)<br /><br />Local Cafes and restaurants are great with a very special East End character and charm.<br />We have a good and interesting selection of local shops and markets & we’re not far from any of the major supermarkets. <br /><br />ATM / bank / post office are within walking distance.<br />The nearest launderette / dry cleaning service (should you need it) is less then 5 minutes walk away.
LONDON & I:

I am a dual Czech British national & I’ve been living in London for all of my adult life. I first came to London ‘for a week and see how it goes’ many years ago. I fell in love with this amazing city & I never wanted to leave again.

MY WORK AND ITS IMPACT ON HOSTING

Same as the rest of the world, 2020 forced me to redesign my life.
My kitchen / lounge room is now my office and yoga studio, so guest have only limited access to the area (during times compatible with my duties / work)

I'm often starting my day at 5am, so it is important to me that guests observe quiet time from 9.30pm.

AIRBNB & I:

You may notice something 'different' here. I've been hosting and welcoming strangers to my home since 2012 and over the years I've learned what does / doesn't work.

I refer to what I do here as the 'old school Airbnb' :)

I will ask you to tell me about you, I will check your reviews ... generally speaking, I'm quite careful about whom I let into my home and my life (my safety is important to me, as is maintaing my home as the peacefu oasis it's been for a while)

This careful 'selection process' seems to work for both - my guests and myself. 
We all enjoy a pleasant time together, sharing my home.
It's worth those few extra few emails at the beginning.

(and just for the record, when I travel and stay with other Airbnb hosts, I do the same -  I tell them about me, the purpose of my visit etc. I never presume that others will simple open their doors and let me in...)
