We had a very nice stay with Salwa and Sarah. It's in a great neighborhood about a 10min walk to the Padding underground station. Loved Paddington it was a great place to be based if it's your first time in London. 2 or 3 tour buses go through Paddington which are awesome if you want to check out all the tourist attractions. Little Venice is pretty much at the end of Salwas street which is an added bonus. Salwa was always quick to respond to my messages and was there to welcome me into her home when I arrived. She also invited me to have dinner with her on the first night which was much appreciated after a 23 hour flight. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone new to London.
