This is a really terrific apartment for a great stay in London. It is exactly as described. It is modern, recently renovated and quite comfortable.
First to address some of worries expressed in other review. We didn’t have any problem with the heat or the hot water for showering. The boiler isn’t huge and you aren’t going to take a 20 minute shower. With three of us we just waited a few minutes between showers and we were fine. Yes, it is up several flights of stairs, but it isn’t too bad and it isn’t like we were running in and out all day long. Yes, the entryway and staircase is a little worn, but it is similar to stairways in other apartments in which I have lived. Inside the apartment is quite spacious and extremely clean. We found the bed comfortable (I’m picky) and my son had no complaints about the sofa bed.
Amenities were as described and quite nice. We didn’t realize the apartment included a washing machine which was a nice surprise. Bathroom is small (its a London flat) but newly refurbished and clean. My wife says that it “has everything you need and nothing you don’t.” She also liked the contemporary style.
The location is excellent! You are a few minutes on foot from coffee shops and pubs. You are a 20 minute walk from Paddington Station and just a few minutes walk from the Bayswater, Queensway or Notting Hill tube stops. that means you are a few minutes from a station that will take you anywhere in London you want to go. Locally, you are also a short walk from Hyde Park, Kensington Palace or Kensington High Street. It was awesome to be in a quiet residential neighborhood so close to everything.
Pedro was quite responsive from the time of our first inquiry until we checked out. He arranged for us to store luggage in a storage locker until we were able to check in later in the afternoon. That made our first day in London much more enjoyable. He checked with us after we checked in to make sure that everything was working as expected.
This is a great value and we’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
