Kate's place is near Paddington and Queensway, so very good for central London. The flat is as described and has all the essentials you need for a self-catering stay (mind you, Queensway is full of restaurants, if you don't feel like cooking). The decor is beautiful. Kate was a lovely host: very friendly and easy to communicate with. She was lovely even though we made her wait for us at our first meeting. So, make sure you know exactly where the flat is (there are three streets with the same name and the number system is a bit odd - her street is the closest to the park). We spent some time looking for it, delaying our meeting with the host. Plus everything in London takes time. But a great host, and a great trip. We had a really nice stay in Kate's flat.
