Location, Location.....that what this studio is all about. A short walk to either Paddington or Lancaster Gate underground stations and buses on the street. This studio is in a fantastic location to see the sites of London. Close to Hyde Park as well.
The studio itself was a little disappointing. We were obviously aware it was below ground level, but I was not expecting an airless room with limited ventilation. There was one window, however the noise and smell (from the gas) from the above cafe and street made it impossible to leave the window open. We therefore suffered at night with no fresh air.
With no ventilation, the provided towels did not dry and were damp each morning.
Whilst the studio appears to have all amenities, it did not have a kettle, so a morning tea or coffee was via microwaving water. A previous guest had also left pizza in the fridge, which was an unwelcome find.
The bathroom is tiny and anyone tall or larger frame will have difficulty using the shower. The shower screen was quite dirty with mould. The door to the bathroom kept sticking, so access was difficult.
I was happy to have a washing machine as we had been travelling for over a week, however with no clothes dryer, clothes did not dry. I ended up going across the road to the the laundrette to have her dry my clothes for me.
The street is filled with cafes, restaurants and a great pub on the corner. A cheap breakfast (£5 for full English breakfast) can be found at the Laundrette across the road.
