Nice clean flat (one guest room and the owners room for rent with an open kitchen/ living room) well fitted with bright and inviting interior and a very nice ambiance. Internet and TV were fast and perfect quality!
I was staying in the private room of Abi, which was a surprise for me, as I didn't intent to stay in a room where someone lives permanently. It wasn't a problem at all for me, though. The room smelled very nice and beside of some clothes from Abi and less space, there was very little difference compared to the other room. The kitchen was well equipped and with everything necessary provided. The bathroom was clean, but the toilet smelled strong even after being cleaned. It was tricky to turn off the water due to old sealing rings. But overall still a nice and clean bathroom.
Abis flat is situated in a rather islamic area with loads of nice little stores with authentic groceries and fresh fruit and veggies. There is a co-op and a Sainsburys local just around the corner (7mins walking distance). There are several restaurants close by as well as a little park with playground. The area is safe and pretty quiet (for London standarts ;-)), I as a female single traveller never felt uneasy walking alone, even in the evening.
Underground and bus stations are in walking distance (Bus nearly in front of the flat, Underground Hammersmith and city line 10min or Bakerloo line 15 min walking distance ) and it only takes 25min walking time to get to Paddington Station (what I enjoyed every day- just for the delight of walking through the nice area!).
For me as a runner it was great to run along the canals nearby, in Paddington Recreation grounds and I also hopped in the bus nearby and drove 20 Min to Hyde Park and Regents Park. Abis apartment is in a really nice location to reach everything in an acceptable amount of time!
Abi wasn't around during my stay, but the Co-host Alex was very caring and did a great job. Alex contacted me on my arrival day, which I appreciated very much. Checking in and out was trouble- free and communication clear and answers quick. I've stayed in Abis flat for 14 days and would come back to stay there at any time again! Thank you so much offering such a great place!
