Hi Christin,
Are you still looking for a flat near lhr? I'm cc with Qantas, 26 years old and have a flat in Acton Town, which might be what you're looking for.
For a year, I lived in Colnbrook with great access to work (only 10 mins to lhr), but I felt somewhat isolated, living so far from anything else.
Finally, in December, I bought a flat in Acton and life is so much better. We're 25 mins by tube to lhr and about the same if you drive, on the A4. We're only 5 mins. away from Chiswick (which has large Sainsburys and loads of lovely shops) and Acton Town tube is a 3-4 min. walk from our flat. We often do communal supermarket runs as at the moment, I'm the one with a car. There's also a Morrisons and an Iceland in Acton Town. And we're only 10 mins to Ealing where there's REALLY good shopping.
It's a 3 bedroom flat on the top floor of a 3-4 floor building and you'd be sharing with me and one other girl who is a full-time nanny, working locally for an Australian family. Your's would be a large double room with double bed, available end Feb, beginning March.
There is a large lounge with large balcony (will be great in summer-BBQs) and Kitchen with Huge fridge and separate freezer, microwave, smoothie blender, toaster etc etc, washing machine, built-in clothes lines & tumble dryer. The bathroom and toilet are separate and i have a great power shower..with unlimited hot water. We've got TV & DVD plus a good WIRELESS BROADBAND connection
As Qantas crew, I only do long-haul, so I'm away alot, but when I'm here, it's great to be able to get into central London by tube whenever I want to. It's quick and easy by tube. From Colnbrook, it took me 2 hours by public transport!!!!
I just discovered we're only 5 miles from Ikea, which by the way, I am slowly but surely using to decorate the flat. Your rent of 550/month includes all bills (e.g. electricity, gas, council tax, internet connection,
Flats nearer to lhr may be a bit cheaper but you're stuck in the areas that surround lhr, which aren't particularly nice. I know, I searched for weeks and weeks before I found a nice one, and it wasn't that much cheaper. So, come and introduce yourself. It'd be great to meet you.
Please call me 07956 29 00 89 or email me at
