Lovely quiet garden apartment in West Kensington
This is a quiet, large, well-equipped and comfortable self-contained apartment in our Victorian house, with easy access to Central London, Heathrow and Gatwick. Three minutes' walk to Tube, two small gardens, pretty residential area with cafés, restaurants, shops and park. No passing traffic. You can get to the centre of London in 15 minutes. As well as a spacious double bedroom, you have your own large sitting/dining room, kitchen, bath/shower room, and your own front door.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />In the lower ground floor of a Victorian artist's studio, full of character, this apartment has its own entrance, and is self-contained. It is incredibly quiet, as it sits on - and backs on to - a cul-de-sac, so there is no passing traffic noise at all, very rare in London. It is in a safe, pretty residential area with great transport links and makes the perfect base for exploring the city. <br /><br />The apartment has a large double bedroom with an extremely comfortable, super kin
West Kensington is a gem of an area. It's very easy to get to from both Heathrow and Gatwick and has excellent Tube links. The streets are lined with tall, handsome mid-Victorian houses and trees. Just around the corner are a friendly café, a deli selling home-made Italian food, one of the best (and cheapest) Turkish restaurants in London, one of the best (mid-price) Chinese restaurants, and a Tesco Express selling all the food you need, open till 11pm. Five minutes' walk away is a lovely pub with a theatre. And the park is also five minutes away, with a swimming pool and tennis courts open to anyone and a huge children's play area (as well as a Virgin Active health club). Next to Barons Court Tube is a  butcher which has been voted best in London and the South-East, and a sweet French café. The river, with its famous Hammersmith pubs, is just 15 minutes' walk away.<br /><br />Best of all, though, is the area's convenience. It is very close to Notting Hill, Chelsea and High Street Kens
I'm a writer and radio presenter and my husband, Dai, plays guitar. We've lived in London all our lives and are keen travellers. We have two young adult daughters - one an architect, the other a novelist - who sometimes travel with us. We are Airbnb superhosts as well as guests, so we know how to make the process work well from both sides.
