Hi, it is always difficult to talk about one-self but I will try here to give it my best shot! I have been living in Brixton for the last 25 years and I am originally from France, so I speak French and I can get by in Italian. I am married, my husband, Lemar is from Congo and he speaks English, French and Lingala. I have 3 grown up children. One of my daughters has recently moved out and subsequently I have a spare bedroom at home to rent. I work half the week as a french assistant in a secondary school. The rest of the time I enjoy gardening, walking, running, reading, listening to music, seeing my friends, spending time with my family and looking after our cat. When I have more free time I love travelling. In our household we are all sociable and fairly easy going but we like to keep the place clean and tidy and we expect people to leave the place as clean as they found it. We sometimes eat together but not all the time as we all have different schedules and we are all very independent. We are considerate to others and expect the same in return. We know well the area and my husband knows London very well so we can help with direction and where to find amenities.
Speaks: English, French, Italian, Lingala
Sleeps like a: regular sleeper
Takes tea: fruity

It is a double bedroom very bright and airy with a double bed and a wardrobe. It is on the first floor of an end of terrace Victorian house, overlooking a quiet residential street. The bathroom and kitchen are to be shared and therefore have to be cleaned after usage. There is a nice secluded and very spacious garden at the back of the house. The house is in a great location, a 5 min walk to the nearest bus stop - there are 3 different buses going to Brixton station (10 mins). Brixton station has the Victoria Line which takes you to Oxford Circus, Victoria, Kings Cross in just a few minutes. Tulse Hill and Herne Hill stations are within 15 min walk for the National Rail which goes to Blackfriars, Farringdon etc in 25 mins. Brixton Hill is a 10-min walk away for buses to Brixton or the centre of London. There are two small cafes down the road, great for breakfast and light meals. On Brixton Hill there are a couple of restaurants, pubs and in Brixton itself you can find brilliant food places, bars, nightlife and a cinema. We live 5 mins away from Brockwell Park which has tennis courts, a lido, a BMX track and lots of sport activities such as Park Run.

House rules

It's a smoke-free home except for the garden. The basic rule is to leave premises as you found them, cleaning up after yourself in the kitchen and bathroom. I would allow visitors but only by prior arrangement
