Unfortunately I never actually got a chance to meet Imran as all our conversations were conducted by mail and he send us his friendly assistant Alina to hand over the keys.

The apartment is very close to Paddington station so ideally located for anyone arriving in London on the Heathrow express. It is, however, also very close to a busy intersection right in front of the house, which is why we decided to keep the curtains drawn and windows shut all the time.

While the flat is nicely appointed with modern appliances, the two bedrooms and bathrooms are located in the basement and don't have much natural light (somehow we also didn't get the heating to work).
