Shanin was an excellent host. She arranged to meet me when I arrived at the property, which was easy as she lives upstairs. The location is superb, a couple of minutes walk from Paddington station, and there are lots of shops and restaurants almost on the doorstep. The apartment is very nice and as described has excellent lighting. It is very secure - there is a gate with 24 hour security. You could sometimes hear the faint rumbling from the subway line, but it was faint and not enough to disturb sleep. The main improvement would be the addition of a microwave oven to allow the heating up of food.
