>Beautiful Victorian house, newly refurbished, on quiet street, 3 minutes walk to the hustle and bustle of Shepherd's Bush, (west) central London. It's incredibly well connected for London sight-seeing, being just a 10 minute tube (=subway/underground) ride to the sights. You can also walk around the corner to Westfield, London's newest and classiest shopping mall, the old BBC HQ, now a smart place to eat/drink cocktails. Very near Holland Pk, Notting Hill and Olympia... >Summary of my house: - 3 double bedrooms with big, luxurious beds. A fourth sweet little bedroom with a single, very comfortable divan bed, that would suit an adult as well as a child. - I will provide you with crisp white cotton linen and towels provided and cooking essentials. - Suitable for professionals, friend and also famililes. Garden (patio). - Child friendly: I have a high chair, comfy travel crib with clean bedding, baby video monitor. I can also provide a side barrier for the single divan bed if your child is 2-4 and likes to feel secure. - My little daughter and I split our time between my lovely home that you are seeing here and our cottage place in the Cotswolds (Charlbury).

I'm a composer. I am mother to one fabulous little daughter. I'm half-Amercan. I can't live with out without my Apple Mac computers, a swimming pool nearby, London's cultural offerings... and of course said daughter. Not necessarily in that order! I'm house proud and keep things rather clean and tidy, but I would hope that's a good thing! I love hosting people and I have prepared two useful documents for guests. One is a guide to the neighbourhood, with my tips on where to eat, run, do yoga, entertain kids etc.. The other is a comprehensive guide to everything inside the house, from how the TV works to how to use the Quooker hot water tap in the kitchen!

I love West London! Shepherd's Bush is just a bit further west than Notting Hill and Holland Park, so natives would argue it's just that bit cooler and more cosmopolitan... Fun fact: the area is called Shepherd's Bush because it was (in the 19th and early 20th century) a pasture for shepherds on their way to sell their sheep at the still famous Smithfield market in East London. The house itself has just been refurbished - new kitchen, underfloor heating, well-equipped and quiet, in a family neighbourhood, but only a few minutes from the bustle of Uxbridge Road which is a bit like NYC's 42nd Street! The house is also less than 5 minutes to the tube which takes you into the centre of town in 10 minutes. It's also less than 5 minutes to to Westfield (Europe's largest shopping mall, for the initiated - for those who are less shopping-oriented, it's still fantastically convenient for restaurants, groceries (the wonderful Waitrose), the Apple Store, John Lewis...) the BBC, grocery stores, every kind of restaurant you could imagine, parks... If you book I have a welcome back that lists all the best local restaurants, where to swim, do yoga, take your kids to run around...
