My house is a Victorian end-of-terrace two-up two-down, with open living/dining room plus kitchen and bathroom.
There is free parking outside the house other than 1000-1400 Monday-Friday. For this charging period then parking on the street can be purchased, currently it is per day but this can be discussed depending on the length of rental.
The house is convenient for Stratford, Olympic Park, Westfield, City Airport, and Royal Victoria Docks.
Tube stations:
Canning Town/West Ham/Plaistow
Custom House (Elizabeth line) is 15 minutes walk or a short bus ride away
The space
The bedroom that is available to guests is cosy and comfortable, my friends and family stay here when they visit and enjoy the space.
When you are not in the bedroom, you are welcome to use the combined living room and dining room - sometimes I work from home but am usually in the office. Guests are welcome to help themselves to the TV (I have Netflix and Disney+) as well as my vinyl player and collection.
The kitchen is open to guests for cooking when they like, I am regularly out in the evenings so they are welcome to make their own meals.
The bathroom was renovated a few years ago and is bright and inviting.
The garden is a great space to sit out in summer, I love having friends in this space for pre-dinner drinks.
Guest access
All, other than my bedroom and attic.

About the Area
The area is changing rapidly and Canning Town has become very developed. There are two major clubs in the area and a number of shops and restaurants opening by the station.
It is easy to get onto the Greenway cycle path from my house, which takes you into Olympic Park for Westfield Stratford or Hackney Wick on the other side of the park. The latter is fun for bars and people-watching, particularly in summer.

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
