General Overview
Our home is the perfect base for exploring London. We’re located in Ealing, a lovely and well-connected part of West London, just a 10-minute walk from the Elizabeth Line — which takes you directly into central London in under 15 minutes. From here, you can easily reach iconic spots like Oxford Street, Soho, Covent Garden, the West End, and beyond.
We’re also a short bike ride or walk from beautiful Notting Hill, Portobello Market, Kew Gardens, and some of West London’s best parks and pubs. Whether you’re into museums, shopping, theatre, or food — it’s all within easy reach.
The flat itself is bright, calm, and cosy — a great place to unwind after a busy day in the city. We also have two very friendly cats who’ll keep you company — and we’d be so grateful if you could feed them in the morning and evening during your stay.
If you’re looking for a relaxed, real London experience with great transport links and a welcoming home, we’d love to host you :)!!
The Space
Our flat is bright and airy, with huge windows that let in plenty of natural light. In the living room, you’ll find a large TV with a great sound system, a desk for working, and a dining table that’s perfect for enjoying dinners together.
The spare room is a calm retreat where you can relax, read, do art, or write. The bedroom has a big comfortable bed and large windows overlooking the beautiful communal gardens, making it a peaceful place to wake up.
The kitchen is fully equipped with an oven and fridge, perfect for cooking your own meals during your stay.
Guest Access
Our home is on the first floor (please note there’s no lift). Guests will have full access to all spaces, including the living room, kitchen, dining area, spare room, and bedroom.
Notes
We share our home with two very friendly cats 🐾. They spend most of their time outside, but we’d be grateful if you could feed them breakfast and dinner. They’re easy-going and will happily keep you company if you like animals.

Neighbourhood
Our neighbourhood is full of life, with an incredible choice of places to eat and drink — from cosy brunch spots and trendy dinner restaurants to lively bars. At the same time, you’re never far from nature, with beautiful parks, woodlands, and green spaces perfect for a walk or some fresh air. It’s the best of both worlds: city energy with plenty of calm escapes. The flat is in a very safe neighbourhood too.

Shama
Hi! We’re a couple, Shama and Roy, based in lovely Ealing, West London. Our flat is just a 10-minute walk from the Elizabeth line, which gets you into central London in 10 minutes — perfect for exploring all the sights. We’re also close to Notting Hill, and surrounded by the green parks and in West London.
We share our home with two friendly cats who love company — we’d really appreciate it if guests could feed them in the morning and evening during their stay.
We’re new to home exchange but excited to explore the world and open our home to like-minded travellers. Looking forward to connecting!
