We, that is myself (Inga), Martin and baby Kalle are living in a small Victorian Terraced House near Willesden Junction Station.

Our house has a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom (with bathtub) on the ground floor. Upstairs, we have one bedroom with a double bed and an en-suite bathroom as well as a guest room / office / baby nursery, which has a sofa bed suitable for 2 people to sleep on. This room currently also has a baby cot, which fits babies / children up to the age of 5(ish).

We have a little garden at the back with seating opportunities and a hammock (my favourite spot for relaxing).
