This is a lovely elegant flat in a quiet and upscale neighborhood close to Hyde Park (3 mins) and Paddington Station (7 min walk - Tube and connection to Heathrow) and Lancaster Gate . Local pub and restaurants steps away are very charming and useful. The appartment is clean, comfortable and inviting reflecting high ceilings with large light filled windows and restrained mid-Century/contemporary decor. John is quite busy so was not present for most of my stay which works great for someone renting a private room. We communicated, when needed, quite efficiently and effectively via the Airbnb app.
I would recommend staying here over a hotel any day. It’s a much more pleasant experience and super convenient to Paddington. I walked with two suitcases and a backpack quite comfortably from this listing to the tube station. I’ve traveled extensively and stayed in London many times. I felt comfortable and safe during my stay and feel it was a great deal. This honestly felt like I was living in London like a local, in a very nice neighborhood.
