I've had so many great guests, often very interesting people, that it's hard to pick one. Also, unfortunately some of the quirkier ones were the problem ones.
I do remember one lady though who, although she drove me slightly nuts and broke my shower cubicle, was a sweet person. She was only staying for a week but brought three enormous, heavy suitcases with her. As she was on a budget, she decided against a taxi from the airport and took two Underground trains/walked instead.
I couldn't fathom how on earth she managed it, especially as she was tiny little thing and not very strong. I mean, she couldn't even walk with all three of them, let alone carry them.
She explained that no less than ten different people had helped her along the way, from the guy who assisted with her cabin case on the plane to the girl who walked her to my house. Now, being a frequent flyer and also remembering the days when I was a stylist's assistant and had to lug a huge suitcase all over London, I know that it's actually not that common for people to help you with your luggage on the tube. It happens, but only occasionally. She just told me it was karma.
Her husband was the cook of the household, so he would video call to instruct her. The first time, I left her to it in the kitchen. When I got back, she had just finished. Frying an egg. It took 20 minutes for him to teach her to fry an egg!
Anyway, she left with even more luggage than she arrived with, having done some shopping while she was here. I asked her how she was getting to the airport. She said by tube. "How are you going to manage your cases on the tube? There's no lift at the station. You would have to take them down one by one, but you are not allowed to leave luggage unattended. It could cause a security alert." "Someone will help me", she replied. "What if they don't?" I asked. "I will pray," was her answer.
"Okay, so how are you going to GET to the tube station?" I had another guest arriving and it was already two hours past check out, so I really didn't have time to take her there. In fact, I was stripping her bed during this conversation because she just wouldn't leave and I was really running out of time and starting to panic.
I finally persuaded her to book an Uber to Green Park station, which would only cost a few pounds and where there was a lift and a direct tube to Heathrow. I left her to it and continued to clean but, when I came back, she was on the phone to her husband trying to get him to book the Uber from Thailand!! So, I gave her some numbers for nearby taxi firms but she couldn't actually dial a phone number. I dialled for her. Turns out she didn't know how to order a cab either so, eventually, I just took her phone and booked the taxi myself.
I honestly have no idea how this lady functioned day to day (when she broke the shower, she just told me, "I spoke to my husband and he said to tell you not to worry because it will sort itself out") but I'm assuming she just always had someone to help her. She was a very friendly, affectionate person so maybe it was karma after all!
