Narrative:

When our B757-200 aircraft arrived at the gate; here in ZZZ1 from ZZZ; there was a cockpit write-up stating that the parking brake handle was lose. While waiting for the cleaners to finish in the first class lavatory; preventing me from entering the cockpit; I remained in the first class galley; waiting. I then noticed that the slide armed light was illuminated on door 1-Right. Further inspection reveled to me that the door was indeed still armed. I called the captain; who was in the cockpit and showed him the situation. After the captain witnessed the situation; I disarmed the door. Catering was approaching the aircraft.
