I stayed at Paula's for 3 weeks as I've just got a job in Twickenham and I needed a place before I move into my own flat. In short, the room that Pauls offers has the comfort of a large suite in a 5* hotel combined with the lovely feeling of being at home! Further details below:
At Paula's, you literally have all of the top floor for yourself, with even a small fridge, kettle, French coffee press, teabags and coffee, TV, and a SPARKLING CLEAN BATHROOM WITH GREAT SHOWER. The room temperature was perfect, too. Everything (furniture, sheets and towels, amenities) is clean and brand new. The neighbourhood is beautiful and safe; within walking distance to the railway station that connects you to central London (Waterloo) in less than half an hour; also 1 minute to the bus stop if you don't feel like walking. Paula even gave me a full huge cupboard to store my stuff in her kitchen and a shelf in her own fridge and she allowed me to use the kitchen, too; an option that not many places offer. I very much enjoyed our conversations and I really felt at home.
Choosing Paula's place to start a new chapter of my life in London was literally the best decision I could make! I would certainly recommend Paula's place either for short- or long-term stays; not only it met all the criteria I was looking for, but also went beyond:)
