Living with Host
I have a spacious double bedroom to let for short periods - up to a max of 21 days - in my two-bed flat on the first floor of a two-storey house in Willesden Green. The room has a wardrobe, desk and chest of drawers and overlooks quiet gardens at the back of the house.
The flat is up a small flight of stairs with its own entrance to the street. The living room has a beautiful ‘cathedral’ ceiling which gives the place a great feeling of light and space. The living room and kitchen are open plan and the bathroom has a bath and separate shower cubicle. I have all the usual amenities - dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, microwave and broadband.
The kitchen has limited storage space and isn't suitable for cooking time-consuming, complicated meals. Simple meals are no problem.
The nearest tube station is Dollis Hill, 8 minutes' walk, zone 3. Willesden Green, zone 2, is a 12 minute walk or a brief bus ride. It's 30 minutes into town on the Jubilee Line, and there are buses on the corner that go to Holborn, Kensington, Golders Green and Brent Cross shopping centre. I am perfectly placed for Hampstead Theatre (3 stops on the Jubilee Line) and the Tricycle (2 stops, or a bus ride), and it’s 35 minutes from my front door to Piccadilly Circus on the tube.
There's a big supermarket just down the high road and plenty of smaller shops that stay open 24 hours.
I have worked in the theatre all my life so I know what it’s like to work weird hours. I welcome anyone however, whether or not you work in the entertainment business. I’ve been welcoming lodgers into my flat for several years and I hope you will find me friendly and helpful!

A lovely space, Pasty welcomed me openly. She was curious of the performance I was doing and was happy to have me back. It was a great stay and I value the hosting a great deal. Thanks, Patsy!

Patsy's place is ideally located near bus and train routes, there are plenty of shops in the local area, but the street itself is very quiet. The room was clean and tidy with a very comfortable bed. The addition of a desk and chair are really useful when trying to catch up on admin too! Patsy is a lovely, warm and considerate host and I recommend this Theatre Digs listing most highly.

Thank you Duncan. It was great meeting you!
Staying with Patsy for my time at Royal Albert Hall was perfect. The bus leaves from the end of the road and drops straight outside the hall.
The apartment was spotless and comfortable. Patsy was also lovely and so accommodating.
I would 100% book again if back in the area.

Thanks Tim. Look forward to the next time!
It was a pleasure staying with Patsy, who was friendly while allowing my own space. My room was comfortable with completely empty hanging space and drawers for my clothes. The bed was comfortable, the area quiet, and also close to shops and cafes.

Five stars all round.
I have stayed with Patsy on two occasions once while working at the Tricycle (very handy and easy commute) and the second time while at the Barbican (also handy to get to).
The flat is gorgeous and the room is lovely.
Patsy is genial and friendly to a fault.
Highly recommended.

Had a very pleasant stay.
Spacious double room in a well maintained small apartment.
Patsy my host is happy to leave you to your own devices and as a late sleeper working nights was considerate with noise in mornings.
Its on the expensive side alas and wasnt covered by my subsistence allowance but think that's just the reality of digs in London compared to rest of UK.
You will have a pleasant and comfortable stay so would recommend.
