It was by pure coincidence that I booked a stay with Gabe again ; he does have a few listings in Paddington!
This particular unit is about 5 - 7 minutes walk from the Paddington station and there are lots of cafes, restaurants and shops nearby ; near enough but just away from the crowd.
The bed is very comfortable and I emphasized that to Gabe. WiFi connection is very fast too.
I would highly recommend staying with Gabe if you are looking for a unit in Paddington. Thanks Gabe!
