Oh. I cannot commend Rashidat enough. She is just too amazing. She's respectful, very thorough, professional and reliable. She did an amazing job for the fact that it was even on a short time frame. She came through and did beyond my expectation. I would not mind having her come around all the time. She went beyond and above for me.

She is a very personable young lady who did a great clean up of my cluttered flat. She worked well with whatever was around including the 'pets" (tarantulas in enclosures) in the one bedroom. She was great in the although I can imagine she was not very comfortable with it she still went into the room to clean up, I told her not to go into the corner where they were kept and she was brilliant. Thank you for a great match!

Local information about Sydenham

Sydenham is a leafy and residential district in south east London. The district bridges three London boroughs: Southwark, Lewisham and Bromley.

Tree-lined streets of terraced houses can be found across the district; some of these are from a period of 19th-century development spurred on by the relocation of the Crystal Palace, while other streets are comprised entirely of post-war terraced houses and semi-detached properties. As is commonplace across London, new-build apartments and purpose-built flats complete the housing landscape.

The green space across Sydenham is fantastic, with the area home to two Green Flag parks: Mayow Park and Sydenham Wells Park. Mayow Park is one of London’s oldest open spaces, dating back to the Victorian times. As well as having great recreational space, there’s a great community in Sydenham too. The local community has a strong cultural identity, epitomised by events such as the Sydenham Arts Festival. The festival invites notable speakers from around the globe, as well as musicians and poets, on an annual basis.

In Sydenham you’re never far from the city, with London Overground service from Sydenham railway station. Other railway stations - Sydenham Hill, Penge East, and Lower Sydenham - provide options for Southeastern rail service to the city.

The SE26 postcode is well serviced by cleaners on the Housekeep platform. All Housekeepers who join the platform have great domestic cleaning experience and are background-checked as part of their in-person interview.
