Our hosts sadly couldn't meet us as they were gone, but a friend of theirs greeted us and showed us how everything worked around the apartment and made us feel very at home. The description of the flat is very accurate, only about a five-minute walk from Paddington Station. There’s a local Tesco nearby as well, so it made getting around quite easy. It’s not to far away from the big shopping mall Westfield, so we found it to be a better choice than Oxford Street. The area itself we found to be rather cosy, there are little rivers running around with houseboats on it, several restaurants and pubs. We tried some of the recommendations our hosts had listed and we were very pleased. For being central London this area feels like a less touristy place and is very quiet. The area also felt very safe, we did not worry about walking the streets at night on our own.

The flat had a homely feel and you would find everything you need to feel comfortable. Clean towels, bed sheets, a kitchen with full equipment and a selection of tea, coffee and spices where available to use.

Our communication with Bea has from day one been good, she replies within the day and once we arrived she checked up on us to see that everything was good.

Overall we felt that the flat was perfect for our little weekend. We got around to all the things we wanted to do so quickly. We walked to Notting Hill, Holland Park and Westfield as it’s not too far away. Because of the spacious flat having a night in was no problem and the price of this flat compared to a lot of the other apartments that’s in central London really makes it worth it.
