The location of Clare's flat was perfect for my extended stay in London, It's a five minute walk to Paddington Station or to Lancaster Gate station. There are several restaurants, pubs, and cafes nearby. The flat has a washing machine, but if you don't want to wait to air dry your clothes, you can take them to the launderette (less than 5 min walk).
The neighborhood is very clean and felt very safe. Good wi-fi allowed me to work from home on occasions when I didn't go into the office. I enjoyed my stay here very much.
