This house is located in an extremely convenient neighborhood, around the corner from a Boots Chemist, Waitrose Supermarket, and a Marks and Spencers. It's also about a six minute walk to Paddington Station.
The house itself is on a really nice mews street, so it's quiet at night and away from heavy road traffic.
Re: the actual house, the host agency contact named Maya is extremely responsive and eager to help via email. I had a harder time getting in touch over the phone, however. Each time Maya would write back immediately but I didn't get a response from the local on-the-ground contact though.
We had a few issues–the dishwasher was broken, the travel crib provided was broken. The dining table is wedged into a corner and very hard for anyone to sit at unless you are a stick figure/2 dimensional.
I was traveling with two kids so I booked an Airbnb LITERALLY for the dishwasher and (functional) washing machine. For the dishwasher not to work was a big inconvenience.
The room sizes are fine, the bathrooms are nice enough, but the walls are very dinged (there was a hole too) and the carpeting was quite stained and threadbare. The place didn't feel dirty at all, just worn down by life.
Maya definitely tried but ultimately the house did not live up to expectations.
I gave it three stars for convenience and location. Very functional place for a night or two.
