Lovely White Single Room. Kensal Rise / Green
A pretty room in a large family home in Kensal Rise/Green.  Our guest room is light and quiet with simple furniture. It is a small room but cosy and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bathroom is shared.  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 within reason 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 />The guest room is on the second floor with a small (shared) toilet next to it, and the shared bathroom is on the first floor.  The kitchen is on the ground floor and the the garden may be accessed through the kitchen by prior agreement.<br /><br />You can help yourself to breakfast any time you like in the morning.  Th
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.
