Beautiful Double Room with Bath and French Windows
A lovely double room with a bath in our big family home. This room is my daughter's room, so please expect to find all her belongings in the room - the price reflects this. There is a toilet (shared) on the same floor but down a few steps, and a bathroom (shared) on the floor below. You are welcome to help yourself to a simple breakfast in our kitchen or there are excellent local cafés if you prefer. Our household includes 2 lazy cats. We're pretty flexible and we'll help if we can - just ask.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />The house is a large Victorian/Edwardian terraced house with a garden, opposite the local tennis club.  It is on a quiet, wide, tree-lined street, with big skies and plenty of parking.<br /><br />This room is on the second floor (3rd if you count ground as 1st) with a shared toilet down a few steps and shared bathroom on the floor below.  This is NOT a dedicated guest room - it has all my daughters stuff in it, and there is very little space available for your bel
Kensal Rise is described as "one of the most hip-and-happening postcodes of London" and Chamberlayne Road (the main street in Kensal Rise) as “the hippest street in Europe” thanks to the shops, restaurants, bars and cafés located here.  It is in a prime location, sitting next to the boroughs of Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea, surrounded by areas including Notting Hill, Harlesden, Queens Park, Maida Vale and Paddington.  London's Evening Standard says "With the area's mix of cool bars, cafés and boutiques, it's no wonder that the once-gritty Kensal Rise is becoming a fashionable magnet for celebrities, young arty professionals and City workers".<br /><br />Westfield shopping centre (the largest inner city mall in Europe) is an 8 minute bus ride away, and Portobello Road market is a 10-15 minute bus ride.
I've lived in London for 30 years and brought up my 4 children here.  I live in Kensal Rise (with my 2 cats) where I practice as a mediator and relationship coach .  As my family are growing up and leaving home, my aunt's philosophy "an empty room is a failure" is growing louder in my head, so I'm opening up my home to share with others through airbnb, as others have shared theirs with me all over the world.

I love my children, my home, my work, delicious and healthy food, riding in Hyde Park, tennis across the road, cycling and everything London has to offer.
