This flat is in a great location close to 5 tube lines, several major bus routes, and within walking distance to Paddington Station. There are lots of practical shops and restaurants right around the corner, and it's a short walk to Oxford Street. Although only on the 2nd floor, there is an elevator. The bed was very comfortable. The flat might work for someone staying only a few days, but I booked it for over 3 weeks and was disappointed. The shower water fluctuates constantly between very hot and cool. I knew there was no microwave. Although there is an oven, the directions for use and temperature control are missing, plus there were no dishes suitable for use in the oven. There were no food storage containers and some amenities were missing, such as scissors, kleenex, a cloth for wiping the countertops and table, sugar, and laundry detergent for washing the towels and linen. The internet speed was unbearable slow with downloads of 1-3 mbs, and uploads of .4 mbs. Although there is a door buzzer system I was unable to make it work and had to go down to open the door for guests. The flat was fairly quiet despite being on a busy street and I felt the area was safe.
