Wonderful location close to Marble Arch and Edgware Rd tube stations. A short taxi ride from Paddington. Many bus routes are also convenient. Walkable to Hyde Park and a couple of neighborhood pubs. We also enjoyed the cute cafes around Seymour Place and Connaught Street on our way out each morning.
Edgware Road caters to London’s Middle Eastern population so many restaurants, convenience shops, and even gelaterias are open very late while the rest of London shuts down at 11pm. Lots of men socializing in the cafes late at night drinking tea and smoking hookahs. No alcohol, though - Soho is the place for that after 11pm. Nice to have these options out the front door after returning from a night out!
The flat is clean and as described but ideal for 2-3 people. More than that would not be comfortable. There is one bathroom with no shower curtain so more than one person can’t use it with any privacy.
Loved the lighted wardrobe closet and large drawer for bathroom storage. The shower is roomy with good pressure, very hot water and hand sprayer wand. The kitchen is tiny but perfectly adequate and well-equipped for a temporary stay.
The neighborhood is lively. With the windows open for air circulation, earplugs are recommended for a solid night’s sleep. There are blackout roller shades which are nice.
The building is good, has doormen and elevators. It is being renovated so is currently covered in scaffolding. Was hard to find at first but no issues once we were acquainted.
Overall a great stay in a vibrant and central London location!! Would certainly stay here again. Many thanks!
