James and Kate are wonderful hosts, and their property was fantastic. They were available to help if needed, all while leaving us to ourselves. Perfect hosts. The property felt like a home away from home, and it was the perfect base for a week in London as we celebrated our 20th anniversary. Access to public transportation was easy and close, and Paddington Station (after a Heathrow Express ride... a GREAT way to get into London from LHR) was a 6 pound Uber ride away.
The flat itself is a little removed from iconic downtown London, which, in many ways, provides a welcome-relief from the hustle and bustle of the city.
As far as local amenities, there's a Tesco Express right down the street for basic needs, and other options a short distance further. For dining, you've got fantastic fish and chips at Sea Shell as well as the best pizza I've had outside of Italy at Firebrand - both a couple hundred feet down the road.
All in all, we enjoyed every moment of our stay with James and Kate. Thank you both!
