I'm Sam and I live in a small flat in London. It is on the third floor of an old building. There is no lift, so I climb the stairs every day!

My flat has a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom. The kitchen is very small, but I can cook. In the living room, there is a big sofa. I have a balcony with some plants.

From my window, I can see a park and the red double-decker buses. The street is noisy in the morning, but quiet at night. My neighbours are friendly. The rent is very expensive, but I love my flat.
