  • Alessio Tondo

    Alessio founded GladStay with a simple idea: renting a room in London should feel clear, safe and properly managed. He oversees the company’s standards, landlord relationships and long-term direction.

  • David

    Sales Manager

    David manages room viewings, tenant enquiries and the letting process. He helps tenants find the right room and makes sure every move-in is handled clearly, from first contact to keys.

  • Anita

    Operations Manager

    Anita keeps day-to-day operations running smoothly, from tenant support and admin to maintenance coordination. She makes sure issues are followed up and everything stays organised.

  • Fernanda

    Housekeeping

    Fernanda helps keep our homes clean, prepared and ready for new tenants, especially before move-ins and after room changes.

Why people choose GladStay

  • Verified and renovated rooms

    Every room is renovated before being rented. No improvised solutions, no “bed dropped in a corner” — just clean, functional and dignified spaces you can trust.

  • Fully furnished, ready to live

    Your room comes fully furnished with everything you need: bed, wardrobe, desk, chair and storage — so you can move in and feel at home from day one.

  • All bills included, no surprises

    Utilities, council tax and internet are all included. One clear monthly price, no unexpected costs and full transparency.

  • Real human support, 24/7

    If something breaks or you need help, you’re not left on your own. Our team is available 24/7 to support you throughout your stay.

  • Fair and accessible deposit

    We ask for just one month’s deposit, with the option to split it into two payments. Because access to housing should be fair, not stressful.

  • Shared living, not shared stress

    We actively support healthy co-living. Shared houses include clear rules, communication and optional WhatsApp groups — so people feel less alone and live better together.

How it works

Renting a room with GladStay is designed to be clear, structured and stress-free.

  1. Step 1

    Find a room & enquire

    Browse our available rooms and choose the one that fits your needs. Once you’ve found a suitable option, send an enquiry through the listing.

  2. Step 2

    Book a viewing

    Choose a time that works for you and you’ll receive a confirmation email with all the details. Booking a viewing does not reserve the room.

  3. Step 3

    Apply & reserve

    Pay a holding deposit (capped at one week’s rent) and complete the application form. Right to Rent and reference checks follow by email.

  4. Step 4

    Sign & move in

    Sign your tenancy agreement via DocuSign, pay the move-in balance, then collect your keys at check-in.
