As others have said: Location, location, location! Near Paddington as well as lots of restaurant choices. The flat was basically as described (and those stairs are a bit steep when carrying your bags). Very clean too. If anything it's TOO clean. We usually cook at least one meal daily and that's what we did here. We did have to buy basics though like cooking oil, salt and pepper, coffee, milk and sugar. But there's grocery stores nearby for those things. The bed was comfy and the shower to die for. As others mentioned there is the sound to people moving around upstairs. But at night it was super quiet for sleeping. Ery provides a very comprehensive manual for the flat too. Enjoy!
