This location is amazing. If you take the wind-through-the-neighborhood route (not the maps default long way around!) it's less than 10 minutes easy walk to Paddington station--so, 10 minutes to almost anywhere in the country via rail. It's peaceful, safe, and lovely overall, with a very clean and organized (and spacious!) flat. The kitchen is adorably compact but almost scarily well-stocked with a variety of tools. We felt it was a lucky score to get this spot during our trip and would happily reccomend it to others looking for a solid, center of London stay. Important to know, it is a basement flat. There are--in the words of my oversized, slightly galumphing, 14 year old-- "steep European stairs!" to get down to the front door. If you are unsteady on your feet or have any difficulty with stairs, this may not be spot for you. That said, the host was quick to answer my questions about the stairs mentioned in the ad, while I was booking. We absolutely loved our stay.
