I am looking for responsible housesitters for the period November 30 until January 29th when I am overseas. References essential. A renovated 2 bedroom maisonette in Little Venice near the canal. One block from Warwick Avenue tube. It has one large double bedroom as such with double doors opening onto a small balcony. The other bedroom is set up as a study but has a comfortable convertible sofa though not suitable for permanent bedroom. Open plan kitchen/reception room. Bathroom with separate shower and bath. Only requirement is to keep mail and I will ring or once a week, or so, to see if there is any mail I need to deal with. Rooftop terrace and balcony garden but won't need much effort over winter. I sometimes smoke downstairs (though not upstairs in the bedrooms).
