We think this Victorian townhouse in West London will suit families down to the ground. It boasts three floors of living space, two cots if needed, and many cosy spots to relax post-sightseeing. Budding chefs will love the large eat-in kitchen – equipped with everything needed to whip up a feast, including an Ilve range cooker and large brushed black granite island – while those seeking a quiet moment can relax in the luxurious soaker bathtubs. You'll be in a quiet oasis removed from the hubbub of central London but with easy access whenever you want. Kensal Rise and Queen's Park's pubs, cafes, and eateries are nearby. Want to explore further afield? Hop on the Tube at Kensal Green, and you'll be in Oxford Circus in twenty minutes.

Home truths:
*While the downstairs WC isn't photographed, expect the style to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*It's a lived-in home so expect your host's many books and treasured items and some minor wear and tear.
*Your host can provide two cots for free – one large and one small. We think the small double bed is best for children. An additional small double bed can be arranged on request – this will be set up in the third-floor bedroom.
*All the bedrooms are located on the first and second levels, so you should be comfortable climbing stairs.
*There are desks in some of the bedrooms if you plan to work from home during your stay.
*There's a trampoline for kids in the garden. The maximum weight limit is 70kg.
