Perfect Summer home w/garden close to Notting Hill
Three beautiful bedrooms are available in our characterful Victorian house.<br />Our house is perfect for a family or a few friends wishing to explore London. 15 minutes walk from Portobello Road Market and brilliantly connected by public transport.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />Comfortable rooms in a family home for a bargain price. Why? Our home is a work-in-progress and well... lived in. We love it like this, but guests should be aware it isn't show-home-squeaky clean or magazine-shoot picture perfect. <br /><br />We have a double living room area with a working wood burner (winter only), a large kitchen and a garden, so there is plenty of space for you to enjoy, and great decking for summer.<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />The house has 3 available bedrooms,  we have one very big double room, one medium double and one kid's room with bunk beds available, so in total could sleep up to 6 people. The rooms are adjacent, on the first floor (second floor if you're American). <br 
This is definitely an area on the rise, and amenities are close and easy. Two local Tescos (5 min walk), a huge Sainsburys on Ladbroke Grove (10 min walk), and an ever-increasing range of lovely local shops, including amazing butcher, fish monger, take-outs ranging from sushi to shawarma,  and lots of cafes, pubs and bars, all on the very hip Kensal Rise. <br /><br />Kensal Green Station (Bakerloo line and Overground) and Kensal Rise (Overground) are both just minutes away, and there are 6 bus routes into town.<br /><br />Just past the fascinating and historic cemetery, the canal is alive with gaily-painted narrow boats, then Portobello Road is a 15 minute walk and Notting Hill, Hyde Park and Kensington Palace are a short bus ride away. <br />Queens Park is a wonderful green space with a great kids playground including a paddling pool.
Johnny and Sofia work in design education, film and visual arts and our 6 year old son Wolfie is vibrant but not hyper, entertaining but not too precocious! We also have an 11 month old, Ezra, who is smiley and funny, and usually sleeps through the night. We have a wonderful Spanish live-in au pair who helps us accommodate guests if we are away.

Sof was born and grew up in north London, UK to a Spanish mother and English Jewish dad, and Johnny is from Bristol.
 Sof has worked in film and theatre for 20 years, ranging from tiny short films and plays to big budget features and TV.  Right now I'm working for a not-for-profit making a film in the Dominican Republic, and finishing my own documentary set around Glastonbury Festival. Johnny teaches design to Masters students in London.
I love Tom Waits, David Bowie, Rufus and Martha Wainwright, Joan as Policewoman and more like them.... When we travel we like to read and hang out in cafes, eat well, wander about, meet and watch  interesting people and do a bit of shopping.
