I wish I could give Sonali more than 5 stars. Her place is centrally located on a beautiful street, minutes from Kensington gardens, Waitrose and tons of other shops. The room is clean and quiet, away from the busy streets, but still in walking distance to both Paddington and Lancaster Gate. Sonali was an incredible host, offering me tea every day and even inviting me out to dinner with friends and family. She even walked with me to Paddington the night before my train to make sure I would be able to catch the tube early in the morning. I felt like I was staying with a close family friend! This is the perfect place to stay if you want to explore London like a local, you won't regret booking it!
