Sam did a great job describing the apartment, it's just like the photos. Although this is a basement apartment, you can still get plenty of fresh air by opening a door to an air shaft. The bedroom and bathroom are spacious, but the kitchen is a little small. Despite its size, the kitchen is fully equipped and I ended up cooking about half my meals. There's a supermarket about 1 minute around the corner which was very convenient. The tube station was also very close, less than a 5 minute walk. It was about a 10-15 minute walk from Paddington Station, which made it easy for me to travel to/from Heathrow.

There was plenty of hot water until my last day; I'm not sure if the hot water ran out or if I did something to turn it off. I also had trouble contacting Sam the day I checked in, possibly because my phone wasn't sending international texts or because his phone couldn't receive my texts. It worked out in the end though!

Overall, it was an absolutely fantastic stay and I loved having a kitchen in a flat with such great transit connections!
