Our family had a good experience at Salwa's flat. From the beginning, Salwa is what a host should be - always quick to respond and accomodating even before we arrived. We had a small child with us (under 2 years old) and she offered to find a baby cot as soon she accepted the booking. She met us when we arrived at the flat and gave a brief tour of the place as well showing how to use some of the appliances if we needed it.
The flat nice and tidy. The 2 rooms has adequatr space. Living room had a sofa and a single bed but was spacious enough that you can fit in a single airbed as well. Although this would make the space a little bit cozy. Wifi was good - 7 of us would always be using the wifi while staying in
the flat. There is no formal dining area though just a small breakfast bar in the kitchen but we were out for most of the day anyway.
The area has 3 underground stations within no more than minutes walk. One of which is Paddington station which is also an overground station and has direct trains to heathrow. For those who love shopping, the underground lines that run through Paddington also goes to Westfield shopping centre. There's a corner store nearby about less than 5minutes walk for quick basic purchases. Paddington station has shops and restaurants next to it as well.
The only down side, which is through no fault of Salwa, is that we visit coincided with the heatwave. Although the flat would normally be cooler, the heatwave that we had this summer made it a bit uncomfortable at night especially for the children with us. This is uncommon so I understand why Salwa did not have an extra fan but maybe it would be ideal to have a cheap one handy for the next summer incase we another heatwave.
Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay at the flat and our visit to London. I will be keeping this place on my list of places I will stay again with.
Thank you Salwa
