Positives: Fantastic location near Paddington station (Non-stop train from Heathrow airport) and steps from the Victoria tube line. Great middle Eastern restaurant below the Apt with lamb, chicken Schwarma, etc and it’s open late (until 11 pm). Coffee shop and convenience store steps away. Shower had hot water and good water pressure and the towels were soft.
Negatives: If you are a light sleeper, this apt is not for you. Busy street corner with buses, delivery trucks, and our second night a road crew with a jackhammer and bulldozer worked from 9pm - 3 or 4 am digging up the street. There is no soundproofing and we heard the workers yelling over the noise of their heavy machinery, as well as the machinery all night. The apt is located two floors above ground level, and there is no lift. So if you have a heavy suitcase, you will be dragging it up a few steep/narrow staircases.
Great value if you are a heavy sleeper, and don’t mind the stairs, and you just want to be close to the metro/train station.
