Where to begin? Shanin was the ultimate host. She checked in with us every morning offering activities to consider, asking if we had any needs and simply being a gracious host. She is so kind. She reinforced that we could contact her any time if we needed anything. She was always available. She is a sweetheart.
The flat was wonderful. The mews location was very quiet. How lucky can you be to find such a central location yet, when sleeping, not feel like you are in the middle of the city? We met some of Shanin's neighbors. They were a delight. Alfie, the neighbor dog, will want to have you play ball with him. The king bed was comfortable, the bathroom was very nice (great shower!) and the living room was spacious. A very charming kitchenette area is included. It was very easy to operate the TV and access the Wifi internet connection.
The flat is a very convenient 6 minute walk to the Paddington Station. So using the Underground is great and easily accessible. This is also where the Heathrow Express runs, so it is a matter of only a 15 minute non-stop express ride to and from Paddington. Also, it is a matter of minutes to get to Hyde Park from the flat. If you do decide to need to rent a car during your stay, there is a Hertz location near the Marble Arch about a 10 minute walk from the flat, for easy pick up and drop off. If need be you can park your car at the nearby St John's church near Shanin's flat.
We are very pleased to have found Shanin and her flat. You will love your experience with her as much as we did!
