Paul's flat was ideal and exactly as described...clean, convenient, spacious, and a great view. It was the perfect home-base for a few days exploring London. As far as the location, although it is not int he middle of downtown London, it is very close to bus stops and the underground station. The only thing that was not perfect was that the couch was a bit springy and lumpy and there was no real place to sit down and have a meal if we wanted to cook and eat in the flat. These couple of things, however, were not much of an issue at all for us. Paul was a super responsive and helpful host...he picked us up from the underground station and helped us wheel our luggage, etc. I would definitely recommend Paul's flat as it was a bargain for London and just a great experience.
