this was a fantastic place; location is great--Heathrow Express goes to Paddington Station (every 15 minutes, 15 minute ride); Paddington Station has 4 Underground Lines including the Elizabeth Line--you can get anywhere you need to fast; there are many many restaurants nearby, a post office round the corner, Boba tea, Sainsburys and Marks and Spencer in Paddington station, Edgware Road a couple of blocks away, bus stops 1 block away including the the Big Bus tourist buses; if you jog, you can jog (or stroll) in Hyde Park nearby; yes it is close by Paddington but Star Street is not at all noisy; on to Nipha who is very responsive and friendly, great host; note that you need to climb one flight of steps (no elevator) to get up to the apartment and one further flight of steps to get up to the two bedrooms and the one bathroom; will definitely stay there again because Paddington works for me and Nipha's place is great; very friendly and helpful; 5* 5*
