Had a great time staying at Declan's place. He is efficient and friendly - he was there to greet me, provided comprehensive notes on the flat and area, and very responsive when I had a couple of questions. The flat is well equipped and quiet and the garden is lovely. I was there in summer but it looks as if it would be well heated in winter too. The parking space (by arrangement with Declan) is a bonus, in an area that is otherwise paid parking. Kensal Rise is a great area to stay (even if you don't have friends and family nearby like I do), with lots of good places to eat, shops to get all the basics, and very convenient for transport to the rest of London. I have stayed at several Airbnb listings and this is the best to date. I felt at home very quickly and would definitely stay again.
