I'm a writer and performer of spoken word. I sometimes work from home and travel regularly for work. I have two fantastic daughters aged 12 and 14 who stay with me half of the time. I do yoga every morning, like going to the cinema and walking in Brockwell Park. My new year's resolution was to go swimming at the unheated lido at Christmas which I did... I haven't been in since!

The Space

It's a lovely airy large double room with a Juliette balcony looking out over the back of the house, which is next to a railway embankment, the trains run from Herne Hill to Brixton and don't disturb me - the windows are triple-glazed, but something to be aware of!

It's a lovely airy large double room with a Juliette balcony looking out over the back of the house, which is next to a railway embankment, the trains run from Herne Hill to Brixton and don't disturb me - the windows are triple-glazed, but something to be aware of! The room has a comfortable double bed and a desk. It is my daughter's room, when she is not away at University. It is next to the bathroom which has bathtub with a shower attachment and there's a separate shower with toilet downstairs. The kitchen is modern and fully equipped, with full length sliding glass doors that look onto a small patio area. There's a separate living room area, no TV . The house is a 2 storey Victorian terraced house, located on a quiet and friendly street with lovely neighbours. The location is great, we're a 12 min walk to Brixton tube for the Victorian Line, and a 7 min walk to Herne Hill for National Rail (and Loughborough Junction) Brockwell park is 5 mins away with the outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts and lots of outdoor activities. Brixton is a vibrant and multicultural areas with lots of trendy food and drinks spots. Herne Hill is a residential area with a weekend farmer's market and some good independent bookshops.

Ideal guest

A non-smoker. Someone who's independent and respectful of the house and each other's space. Half the week, I work from home, though sometimes I am out of London. Someone who doesn't mind taking their shoes off when they come in (I have slippers for you) and who likes cats! (I have two very chill and friendly cats) I am mainly vegetarian so would prefer someone who doesn't want to cook meat every day.

Household info

I have two cats. My kids are away at Uni but might drop back overnight sometimes. We are a mainly vegetarian household.
