We really enjoyed our 4-night stay at Ted’s place. It was clean and spacious, and the location was great. Its close proximity (about 7 mins walk) to Paddington Station gave us many transportation options for touring all around London. As other reviewers have noted, there is some noise from surrounding flats and passersby, but in a basement flat in London that is to be expected, and it really didn’t bother us. I did find the check-in instructions confusing, as they provided info on a front door as well as a basement door, when I only needed the latter. Also, the stairs leading to the basement door are narrow, steep and winding. So those with mobility issues should be aware of this. Minor issues, though. Overall, our stay was great.
