Short Let In Great Double Bedroom 3M Kensal Green

We decided to rent out this room for a minimum of one month and a maximum of four months, potentially allowing for further two-month increments. No deposit or references are required.

Here’s a breakdown:

**ABOUT THE HOUSE**

A three-bedroom house with one spacious living room, kitchen, and two bathrooms…. One of which will be used by you alone—except when we have visitors around. The other empty room can be used for storage and guests.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a washing/drying machine, dishwasher, microwave, blending machine, and more…

The living room has a 55-inch screen, with PS5 (Duarte loves a round of FIFA) and cable TV. Our broadband is 500 MB. The living room also has a Sofa bed in case we get any extra visitors (but we already have a spare room for that).

All windows are double glazed and the house is fully gas-heated.

The owners of the house are a couple, who also act as our landlords. They are incredibly responsive and super nice. We never had any issues with them in the many years we’ve been living in the house.

**ABOUT THE ROOM**

The room has a double-sized bed and a spacious built-in wardrobe with plenty of storage space. As said before, heated and with double-glazed windows - equipped with blackouts.

It has plenty of natural light but is probably the coolest room in the house during summer days.

You will have some furniture in the room, including the bed, a desk and a nightstand.

**ABOUT THE AREA**

The house is a 3-minute walk from Kensal Green station in northwest London on the Bakerloo and Overground lines. You also have Kensal Rise overground station in just under 10 minutes.

It's in a residential area, slightly off the main road, meaning you don’t get any noise. It is also very safe to walk around at any given point. My partner has always made a point to stress the importance of living in a safe area.

A Tesco Express is located 5 minutes from the house… there’s also a massive Sainsbury / Argos just under a 10m walk, plus a 24/7 gym (Anytime Fitness) and a Sports Leisure Center with a swimming pool. Just next to it, there’s a dry cleaning store if needed.

We are also just under 15m from Ladbroke Grove, where you will find a variety of nice restaurants, bars and cafes, including our personal favourite Portuguese pastry shop "Lisboa".

Notting Hill, one of London's most iconic areas, is also just a 25m walk from our place.

Deliveroo and Uber Eats options are also very good… we personally love Sacro Cuore (sourdough pizza), Cinquecento Pizzeria, Meat Liquor, Beer & Burger, Five Guys and the local Indian restaurant.

The biggest assets in the area are Lexi (an independent cinema), Parlour (a restaurant known for brunches and Sunday roast), Bel & Nev (a cute small spot for breakfast/brunch/lunch), Vickie's and last - but not least - Paradise, the amazing pub/restaurant/nightclub in which the original flatmates decided to make Kensal Green their home.

We have also fallen in love with the (very popular) bakery "Layla".

**ABOUT US**

We (my partner and I) are working professionals in their 30s. My partner is an illustrator/designer and I am a journalist.

Both of us stay in our en-suite bedroom on the second floor of the house (so quite separate).

We are all very discreet and easy-going.

**ABOUT YOU**

You should be either a responsible master's student or a working professional between the ages of 23 and 50. You are tidy, clean, considerate, with a sense of humour and up for a movie night/glass of wine / cheeky meal / Fifa round.

Ideally, you don’t work full-time from home, but we are flexible on some days.

**ABOUT MONEY & CONTRACT**

The rent is £1150, plus bills - which will come to around an extra £150 that includes: water, gas, electricity, internet and council tax, bringing the grand total to £1300.

Our cleaner (who has worked for us for nearly nine years) is paid separately, bringing it to an extra £40 a month.

She comes in once a week and looks after the entire house - including your room - and iron clothes.

No need for a deposit since it's a short stay and we won't look into changing contracts for bills.
