I stayed at the apartment at Paddington Gardens with my family (3 adults and 2 kids) for two weeks while on summer holidays in London. Overall the stay was great, and we liked the place. The key highlights were:
1- This is a brand new and modern apartment, finished to a very high standard, in a new development. The furniture was chic and functional. The living area and the bedrooms were very spacious. We were lucky to be the first tenants, even though this came with some minor issues that are normal with any new flat/ building.
2- The apartment’s location was great. The proximity to Paddington station makes it very convenient to visit different parts of London (either by the Tube, bus, Uber or the Black Cab). If you are traveling light, then you can even walk from Heathrow Express platform at Paddington to the apartment. Merchant Square is about 2 min from the apartment block and offers few good dining options (with a view on the canal/ Paddington Basin), cafes and convenience stores. The apartment is also walking distance (15-20 min) from Regent Park and Hyde Park.
3- The apartment comes with a modern air conditioning system. While we did not always use it as we enjoyed the fresh air breeze which we got being on the 7th floor, the air conditioning was a very useful feature as London was hit by 3 days heat wave during our stay.
4- At the time of our stay the developer was still working on the landscaping of a sizable garden with a fountain for the development residence. I suspect this will be ready within a month. This will certainly add another feature and space for the residence to enjoy.
5- Lime Street is a good host and they are good at what they do. They were responsive, bar few times when response time was longer than usual. Zack, and Nina (I hope I got the names spelled right) were both very helpful.
