Overall, a good stay with a few caveats.
PROS:
-Very good location. Close to Paddington station but also a reasonable walk to Hyde Park, Notting Hill, and Marylebone. Near 2 tube stops. Lots of cafes, shops, grocery stores and pharmacies nearby. This is the #1 reason to stay here.
-Accommodating host. We got an early check-in at 9:30am which was extremely helpful given our early flight arrival in London.
-Spacious. Good size sitting room and kitchen, two decent sized bedrooms, one decent sized full bathroom, and one smaller full bathroom.
CONS:
-Overall, the photos of the property were a bit misleading. This is an old but classic building and it shows, inside and out as it hasn’t been renovated – so that shows in the paint, floors, and some mustiness. If you plan to spend a huge amount of time in the apartment, this could become an issue for someone highly sensitive, but if you are generally out and about and there to sleep and do a few “resets” during the day, it is beyond fine and you should be quite comfortable.
